In reply to Megan. Hi Megan, I think our attic access was in the master bedroom closet, so along the back of the house. We didn't ever use it though. Our storage was in the lowest basement. This house was a 4-level backsplit. Hopefully you can figure out a great way to open your space up!

We have a back split home and I’ve been struggling with how to open it up. I love how you opened the top floor to the middle floor with the railing. Our house has a solid wall there. My question is where is your attic storage? Our attic access is in our upstairs hallway wall and the attic is above the front of the house. I’d love to open our house like you did but we have the attic issue.

Leslie, Wow…when “everyone else” is opening up this wall, that wall, every wall….you closed those openings up ! And oh my…what a superb success! Who would have eliminated the arches – not me that’s for sure – and the results are stunning…a great entry was born out of your gutsy move! And then….moving on the the family room opening to the basement…again I would have thought “no, no…that will close in the area, reduce the light, be all wrong”….and once again a brilliant change! Bravo to you! Enjoy seeing your posts! Dara
