What would you prefer?

Thanks so much for your reply.

I think the problem with not having the french doors is that at the side there is a big window where alot of the light comes from.. also there is double doors that will fall into the "3rd bedroom" area. so if we made it a room the kitchen wouldnt have much natural light. There is a skylight there but I dont know whether that would be enough. :/

Oh and we'll be fitting a new kitchen

So glad I am not the only one TGM! lol
And yes you are right and more often than not, they screw it up to make stamp out houses.

yeah the last thing you would want is a dark space.
Having no natural light is a bugger, but a fairly cheap off-the-shelf product like Solatube would provide alot of natural light (they are basically a skylight but reflect the light, making them very effective.

and yes limeslice......I am NOT a fan of the typical project builder.
some are good....most....bad....very bad.
