Summer Terrace - Day 12 - Opening up the corridor

I think I have mentioned before that there is a dark corridor in the property created by the layout of the staircases.
This is a terrible photo but shows the corridor, without the wall light being on, it really is completely dark.

 I'd love to add a window at the end, but it would really ruin the look from the outside, so to open it up, I have started by taking out a lot of the wall and replacing it with a bannister.  This is how that changed the look.

I may also be adding a velux window or sun tunnel to add some more light to this area - tbc depending on budget.

Now i just can't wait for all the plastering to be done and get rid of the terrible artex.
