When we first moved into our house we extended a small section out onto our deck. Instead of closing up a window that was removed I suggested we leave it open for light into the hallway behind it, plus it was easier to communicate from the back rooms to the kitchen and rest of the house.
When we remodeled the kitchen, over my objections, the designer talked Keith into walling up the opening. Yes, from the one side it looked better, however, the hallway has been dark all this time and I can't begin to guess how often I tripped over Sherlock lying in the hallway when Keith's office door was shut. I finally had to put a night light in the hallway.
Yesterday the handyman opened it back up and continues to work on the area today. Light, wonderful light!
