I have what would be an open plan kitchen/living room area except there's a half a partition wall in between them (I mean "half" in the sense that you can walk around it; it's a full wall from floor to ceiling). It's 160cm wide and 10cm deep and I hate it.
I was thinking it would be useful to have a breakfast bar instead in that space and I'm wondering exactly how to go about this - would it be possible to leave about a metre of the wall standing and use it as the basis of the breakfast bar? Or would it be less trouble/cost to just get rid of the wall completely and build the breakfast bar from scratch? And does anyone have any idea how much it will cost? (I know it will part depend on whether it's a loadbearing wall or not)
Thanks for any advice and please excuse my utter newbieness at this sort of thing.
