[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate truly open floor plans.  I like a defined sense of space, and since I often work at home I like to have a quiet room to be in.  I like a sense of coziness when I'm sitting down to read, and open floor plans don't do it for me.  When I'm in the kitchen or study, I don't want to hear what someone else is watching on the tv in the living room.  When I'm sitting down to eat dinner I want it to be in a nice calm environment, and don't want to see the sink filled with pots and pans.  And yes, I do clean my kitchen every day, but I don't clean up immediately after I finish cooking a meal - I wait until after the meal is over.

We have good flow through our house, but still have discrete rooms.  To me that's ideal.   It's harder to have that in a small house, though.

Also, I need some walls to hang my art on.

I have an open floor plan and guess what?  It includes walls.  So much wall space, in fact, that I have no problem finding room for our art and photos.  What a bizarre comment.[/quote]

I have a huge art collection.  If I took down walls between my kitchen and dining room and living rooms I'd have to get rid of some very nice pieces because there wouldn't be room for them anyway.  Plus I'd have to get rid of some antique furniture that goes up against the walls.

To each his own.   I'm glad you like your house.  I love mine! :-)[/quote]
