[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when you walk in the front door,  will there be an opening on your right into the kitchen?

Usually there’s a big window in that front room.  Are you keeping that window(s) the same?  How is the kitchen to be laid out?  Counters on that front wall?  I’m just having a hard time picturing this.  [/quote]

So when we walk in the front door, you’re in a hallway with the staircase in front of you. Walls to either side, with 30 inch opening with French doors. Living to the left, dining to the right. New layout would be kitchen to the right instead. Now  if the French doors stay closed into the hallway then no, you will not see the kitchen from the hallway. If the French doors are left swung open, then yes, you’ll see it through that 30 inch opening . [/quote]

I actually think this is fine because you can close it off if you want and even when open it’s only partially visible. It sounds like you aren’t walking in the front door and greeted by a fridge.

But I’m in a rambler that has been opened up and we walk into our dining space with the kitchen to the front right of the house and our living spaces (family room/den) at back of the house. I actually like being able to see out our front windows when I am cooking dinner, but my kids like to play with neighbors out front. I know some people want to be able to look out over the backyard.

If you’re confident you’re going to be there 20 years I vote do what you want. The next owner will probably rip everything out anyway. Maybe leave some plumbing capped off so down the line you can sell it as being capable of renovation to flip things back around.[/quote]
