[quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of these complaints have to do with the open floor plan look (like it's hard to have strong colors if there are not separate rooms, and you need pillars to support the ceilings).  It creates a lot of design challenges but has some real benefits as far as light and just flow of how people move.

I love bright colors, but with an open floor plan, I can't commit to painting the walls coral or something like that.  We have tan in the front rooms (which I sort of hate and would like to change out for a cream) and then sky blue in the back rooms where we spend more time.  I think sky blue is a neutral.

I do love having the kitchen open to the family room.  I do most of the cooking and cleaning and I feel like otherwise, I would never see my family.  It's also easier to wrangle help from them if they are not already in a separate room.  I do find it frustrating sometimes to have all the kitchen clutter always visible, but I accept that as a tradeoff.  It just works better for my lifestyle, and I feel like most modern parents lifestyles.

I also hate vessel sinks, and TVs over above a fireplace.  I'm also irritated by the trend towards mismatching cabinets in the kitchen.  Looks too trendy, like those old color block sweaters from Generra.    I also hate double-level entry foyers, but I feel like those are becoming much less common than they were 10-20 years ago.[/quote]
