We have the Foxglove and have noticed that there are some of both models that have a wall at the end of the counter that runs to the ceiling. Ours ends at the end of the counter without the wall. Looking for feedback on which you prefer, wall or no wall. When we replaced the counter to a pony top we extended it about 6-8 inches over the edge. I like the wall, it seems to give the entrance a more finished hall look when you enter. Any and all thoughts appreciated, thanks.

We have a Woodlawn, which is a 2BR masonry CYV, it's now known as a Durham. I have seen a neighbor's home without the wall and ours has the wall, which you can see to the right in this photo. The units without the wall seem to lack a foyer and you are suddenly thrust into the kitchen. The wall seems to help break up the space. We also have a bar with a tier and the wall hides that well. Also we have vaulted ceilings in the DR and LR but the kitchen is lower with recessed lights and the wall again helps with that transition. We also have a wall jack from Centurylink for our phone and internet on the inside of the wall. The wall once again helps to conceal our telephone and internet router. We have a half round table that we sit on the front of the wall with a vase, flowers, and a painting hung on the wall.

Originally our LR and DR were carpeted and the foyer and kitchen were vinyl. For just 300sf we were able to cover the kitchen, foyer and DR with wood floors and left carpet in the LR. It's much nicer for the stools and our table's chairs with coasters having the wood floors and the wall once again seems to help divide the space. I would not want our unit without the wall.

That looks lovely, John W. Kudos to your decorator (Mrs. W?)

Very nice, the wall does give the effect of a hall/corridor. There is no carpeting in our home, for us it works. Thanks for the photo, it brings it into perspective.
