[quote=Anonymous]I lived with an open kitchen for five years and grew to hate the setup with a passion.  It was simply impossible as everyone was in everyone's way.  It was noisy and uncomfortable - how are you supposed to have a conversation or watch TV with a water tap running or things sizzling on the stove or hood going full blast? No peace. No order.

I felt terribly wasteful remodeling a basically new house but five years later we spent $$ to change the layout.  I now have a large kitchen with island and seating with walls on all sides. It has a set of wide French doors to the dining room, and that's the only room to which it connects.  Family/living room is beyond that.  I absolutely love this setup. It is easy to get meals on the table as kitchen and dining flow into each other but when the table is set, the doors to the kitchen close and it's civilized again.  If people want to hang out with me as I cook, there is room to do that but it will happen behind closed doors. [/quote]
