Following a friend's advice, I'd removed a lovely original (1929) swinging door between the kitchen and dining room, opting for a wider opening. The idea was for it to line up perfectly with the French doors on the opposite dining room wall, which in turn, opened to the living room. Thus, from the kitchen I could see clear through to the other end of the house. Lovely.
