[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of triangles on the roof.

White kitchens.

Mosiacs in the shower.

Subway tiles.

Open floor plans.

Columns everywhere.

I love open floor plans.  So much more friends and family friendly.  I'm not a formal person.  My 80 year old inlaws prefer the closed off kitchen/dining room.  They are very formal.

When we have get togethers, people hang out in the kitchen. It doesn't matter if I put the food out in the dining room. They all seem to congregate in the kitchen area. So, we just blew out the walls to the kitchen/family room, and now we can have people  hang out in the kitchen area and not feel cramped.

Kids  hang out in the finished basement. Adults hang out in the kitchen/family room. It's great.

I am getting sick of the gray/white kitchen and subway tiles.  I like color.[/quote]

I'm the closed floor plan person above.

It's all personal preference, but when it comes to kitchens and you do ethnic cooking, a closed floorplan can be more desirable for certain cuisines.  Infact some builders market towards newer asian arrivals for having a second small kitchen for stirfrying and a larger main kitchen for entertaining.  Even if you have a 1200CFM fan above your stove to ameliorate the smells, the oil can still easily get on your fancy backsplash.

I think you listed the many positives though.[/quote]
