Not going to happen unless we knock out the entire wall...
Looooong fireplace. This could be the two way one in the living room/kitchen. or just added anywhere. Dining room?? Bed room?
Hmmm... in the bathroom..
There is an open space above the fire place... ,maybe that would give a more open feel?? even IF the rest of the wall was not knocked out??
