When I was working on my kitchen in 2019, I did some exploratory demo to see if I could add a 1920's style phone niche to the wall between our kitchen and dining room. It runs along the buffet, and turned out, there was a deep enough cavity to easily add one! There was a phone jack in this wall when we bought the house, so I knew there was some kind of cavity. After some demo-excitement, we lived basically with a huge hole in the wall for three years. I had started the casing for the bottom of the niche, but didn't get much farther after electrical went into the side of it.
I declared 2022 the year of finished projects in our house, so I started with this one, and wrapped it up several weeks ago (technology issues hit me hard then! But I'm back.). Starting with this one really has given me a decent amount of momentum to keep going with other things this year.
