[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the setup where the kitchen is a separate room.
No need to listen to the tv noise
I can use blender and mash potatoes etc and the noise does not bother others
And my kitchen does not have to be spotless, because it is more hidden
And I love familly dinners in the dining room

Not for everyone though[/quote]

I kind of like this too.   I agree with the idea of noise and especially keeping the kitchen spotless at all times.  In our old apartment we had an old galley kitchen that was not visible from the living area and I loved being able to keep it messy during a busy day without having to clean several times.  It didn't bother me to have unwashed dishes or stuff scattered around the counter when I could not see it unless I went to the kitchen.  Now, with the open floor plan, it is much more distracting to have stuff on the kitchen counters everyone can see throughout the day.  It's like you must keep it spotless to have the overall look of a well organized household.

My main reason for a separate kitchen with the door is that I hate the smell of food in the living room and especially bedrooms and when the floor plan is open, the smells do permeate the entire house.  I don't like to go to sleep with the kitchen smells.

So, for the OP, I would put the kitchen further away from the bedroom areas, like the hallway leading to the bedrooms or the staircase and make sure it has good ventilation.[/quote]
