[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Our very  long, narrow rowhouse would definitely be improved with an open floor plan.[/b]  My sister renovated her Brooklyn brownstone "parlor floor' with an open floor plan, and I really like it because the light is awesome. With the right arrangement of furniture, you have a separate dining area and living room area that give a cozy feeling.

If you had a wider house, I agree that an open floor plan sucks.  My parents have a 1920s home that's kind of a cross between a bungalow and a four square in Northern California, and the formal living/dining separated from the kitchen works really well. Opening that up would be a crime! [/quote]

We have a long narrow row house that is not open plan and love it.  Many of our neighbors have removed the walls of their virtually identical houses.  the space looks much smaller and then they struggle to work out how to divide their furniture and create seperate spaces.  We have large pocket doors seperating certain rooms and it works great.[/quote]

pocket door = ghetto[/quote]

You are so very strange.  My 8 feet tall, Victorian pocket doors are "ghetto"?  Strange then because when any of the other homes in my neighborhood that still have the original pocket doors are sold they actually list it in the real estate ad as a [u]feature[/u].  Obviously the realtors must be highlighting the "ghetto" features of the house.[/quote]

PP again, here's an example of what these "ghetto" doors look like (though I like ours better):
