[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not alone in hating open plan. Get the kitchen you want. There will be buyers.[/quote]

+1  I also hate the open plan.  It really is annoying to go to someone's house, walk in the front door and see everything.  It is way TMI and people live a lot more messily than they think they do.

I think opinions about the open floor plan will swing back dramatically once the kids who live in them start buying houses.  Why do I think this?  Until March I drove a lot of carpools.  You'd be surprised at what kids think about it and what they say about their homes' open floor plans.[/quote]

What do kids say about their open floor plans?[/quote]

They don't speak about them as open floor plans.  They talk about their house versus someone else's house so they'll say "at my house..." and "at your house..." types of stuff.  As they talk what I hear is that they don't like that there is no privacy, that they can't watch tv without hearing all the noise in the kitchen from dinner/whatever prep, that their house looks "messy" all the time (I think it is just normal living, like the paper on the coffee table, mugs on the island) and other houses don't, they talk about how loud it is all the time and no place to just chill, etc.  It all speaks to the fact that everyone living in one big room isn't doing it for them.  These aren't long conversations, just tidbits as they move from topic to topic.  [/quote]

Really?  You really overhear children discussing this?  If so, that is totally weird.  And yes, I drive carpool a lot too.[/quote]
