[quote=Anonymous]We are in a row house and have lived in it for about 10 years. We also use the front room as dining room, contrary to most traditional three room deep row houses. We did it for the same reason - middle room is bigger/more open and gives us more seating and options to arrange furniture and more privacy. For the kitchen, one of those last pics you posted - that looks like a big wide space in the middle. That’s a lot of walking back and forth between sink and stove and fridge. Carefully consider your layout. Did you have a kitchen designer weigh in? One of our friends does have a similar, but smaller layout. They have a smallish mobile island they plop in the middle with a couple stools. We did a different layout and went with island in the kitchen. So we have cabinets and counters on two walls with fridge and stove there and sink in island. There wasn’t a better place for our sink, but it worked out well as we can talk to kids or guests while washing dishes. Our island has room for four counter stools. The other wall is blank - no cabinets or anything The one thing that I didn’t realize about our home is that the back door would be our primary entrance bc we park out back and also have a shed where we keep strollers, scooters and bikes. So even though we don’t have strollers anymore, we still often go out that way. If we did it again, I would plan a storage/mud room something as well as a small seating area at the back of the kitchen. We kind of had to force the coat and backpack storage in there. [/quote]
