How I turned my hallway into a dining room

I think the main reason I've never liked sitting at the table to eat by myself is because I've never had a kitchen or dining room I loved. Here's how I completely overhauled a space that simply wasn't doing its job — and made it into a mini-version of my dream dining room: Finding more room For about a year, there were two shelving units that lived in the dining nook: one that held wine, cookbooks, and decor, and another that acted as a catchall for an assortment of random items. While they served their purpose, removing them from the space immediately made it feel so much larger; and without the two shelves, there was now room for four chairs to fully pull out and allow a human being to fit — it's the little things! The dining room had an oh-so-classic boob light so I hopped up on the table, Facetimed my dad, and changed it for a simple black pendant light.
