[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my open kitchen and love having company in the kitchen while I’m cooking, but it’s your house, so do what you like.  Whatever you do will probably look/feel a bit dated by the time that you end up selling, so might as well get what you want and will enjoy. [/quote]
+1 I've had both, too.

I didn't like the closed kitchen because when we had friends over, sometimes they would be in the dining room area by themselves while DH and I would finish up in the kitchen, or I'd be in there myself (usually) while everyone else was chatting.

Our current house had a closed kitchen that desperately needed remodeling (really).  We opened up some walls to create an open space, however, the way it is configured, part of the living room is behind the wall of the kitchen, so if you sit on one side of the living room, you can't see the kitchen, though you can hear some noise and obviously the smells.

But, I like it this way because we are pretty low key, and when we entertain, we usually all hang out in the large kitchen area.

having stated that, if you do most of the cooking, including when you entertain friends, then IMO, you should have more say.[/quote]
