[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in both set-ups and personally I think you just get used to it either way. When the kitchen is separate, you do more walking back and forth and whoever is cooking is more cut off from everyone else. But it's not a huge deal. During family gatherings, people will still go in the kitchen and hang out, they'll just do so standing up. And I don't mind the going back and forth, personally -- I kind of like to be on the move in general. A bonus of the separate kitchen is that you never have to look at kitchen mess during meals or while relaxing later, so if you ever decide to just let it wait until morning, it's kind of out of sight out of mind.

We have an eat-in kitchen now (actually the entire living space is completely open, as is the style these days) and it has been kind of nice with my kid because she's still little and it's useful to be able to keep an eye on her and talk to her while she's eating a meal or playing if one of us is busy in the kitchen.

But other than that, I don't think it's a big difference. Sometimes when we throw parties I actually really miss having more separate spaces so that you could have quieter, more private conversations with smaller groups. I remember having lots of fun hushed convos with my girlfriends in our old kitchen while everyone else was in the dining room or living room. But I've gotten used to it the way it is now, and this house is nicer and more modern so it's hard to complain.

Again, you just get used to the set up and it winds up not being a big deal.[/quote]
