We are getting our kitchen redone and will be getting a new back door so have decided to get rid of French windows in existing dining room, which we never use. New kitchen will become a kitchen-diner and dining room will become back sitting room ... I would like to replace French windows with a window the same width and create a window seat underneath. The window alcove is only about 20cm deep currently, so too shallow for a window seat.
Is the easiest way to do this to build fitted cupboards / bookshelves on each side to deepen the alcove and then put continuous skirting round the bottom?? Would a carpenter be the person to do this?
