[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i have been humored by this site time and time again. i find that the stuff poeple don't like is the stuff they want but can't have.  [/quote]

Open floor plan with a kitchen visable from the front door? Lived in a house with one. HATED it. No one needs to have their dirty dishes and food smells grewt guests when they wwlk through the door or pop in to say hello.

What I like is a center hall floorplan with spacious defined rooms separated by large double sized door openings and a spacious kitchen with a casual living space and windows.

Kitchen and casual area in the back, defined formal rooms in the front, with some sort of division between the two.

Windows on all sides of the house and good airflow, like they did in the nicer houses before AC.

Anything but a completely or virtually wall less main floor.[/quote]

First off why do you live like a slob?

I have an open floorplan center hall, did I blow your mind?

No one wants to close each room off, closed off rooms were taken out of rotation decades a go.[/quote]

I lived in Europe in a huge pre-war place with a long, huge center hall that the rooms opened off of on either side of it -- so each of them, for example the living room and kitchen, had doors that closed them off from this central hall.  I LOVED it.  Really, truly, loved that space.  And, believe it or not, it was a great place to entertain.  You just opened up the doors to the living spaces and people meandered about from living room to kitchen to dining room, or hung out in the hallway.

I've seen one house like that in this area, a huge 19th century mansion.  The people who live there are never going to move, however.  Sigh.....
