My Dining Room

9 years ago

This is a small space and I would like some advice on removing the bottom brick on both walls. There is brick behind on wall but no hardwood on the floor. What do you suggest I can do to enlarge this space. I would also like advise regarding a table should it be round or rectangular.

I wouldn’t remove it; I would extend the right end; add what is necessary and add cushion to make at least one seat for the table.

I'd try to keep it. Are you saying that the DR isn't large enough for your needs? that this sticks out, etc.? show photos.

In other words, I'm confused: if you were to remove brick at floor level, you'd still have a fireplace there!?
