[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The change doesn’t fit the style of the house, so I think it will feel weird and may not age well. A rambler or more modern style house could pull this off.

Having the kitchen in the back is nice for privacy. You tend to use the kitchen at night and early, and sometimes in pajamas. You don’t want visibility from the street.[/quote]

This is true. I wasn’t considering the privacy aspect as much. I’m worried with the kitchen staying in the back, we will continue to not hang out there though. The second option was to put an island between kitchen and dining once it’s opened up (current kitchen has no room for island) So people will hang out at the island . It will be sort of in the middle of the front and back of the house. Right now, we hang out in the dining room for homework/ drinks/ chatting etc before and after dinner so I’m imagining that would be nice to do in the back of the house with the nice new large windows looking out back. But if we had a new large kitchen towards the front you are right, we’d default hang out there more.

I think whichever thing we do, hanging out is going to happen more in the front anyways, just like we currently do. Because the space is bigger. I know our house is 3k feet but probably 1k of that is the finished basement. The main floor footprint is not massive. [/quote]
