Now that would be amazing! If there had been a doorway there before? Yeah, that would blow my mind! As for the hardwood, oh man- we’re nervous but crossing our fingers. Time will tell I guess!

And…my house has a wide doorway in the center bearing wall in the exact location you want yours…never know what you might find in that wall!

Also, I have hardwood in the same spot you found yours (which is in my dining room) but not in the kitchen. I have hope for you though.

My husband says to go in your basement and if you have the proper ceilings to look, you might be able to tell from below if the hardwood runs through the whole kitchen. Good luck!

In reply to Patty.

Since we discovered the same hardwood flooring that runs through the dining room under the vinyl tiles in the kitchen someday we hope to refinish that so it’s seamless (with a small wood transition that’s stained to match) but until then we’ll probably just add a wood transition to match the hardwoods in the living room (which is what we have on the other side of the kitchen where the vinyl flooring connects to the hardwoods in the living room). Hope it helps!

Are you going to do anything to join/transition the wood floor and the vinyl floor tiles?
