[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I split the house into 2 conceptual sections: formal vs informal.

Formal is mostly at the front of the house and includes the entry hall, living room, dining room, study, and butler’s pantry.  There I want walls and doors.  If we are entertaining, then I want to be able to cook in private, and then I will serve meals to guests via the butler’s pantry.   I do not want guests in the entry hall to see or hear things in the back of the house, so doors are helpful.

Informal is at the rear of the house and includes the kitchen with a breakfast table and the den.  There I want things to be more open.  I want to be able to watch children in the den from the kitchen, for example to limit screen time, and so on.

We have both a front formal staircase up and also a rear informal staircase to the children’s play room over the garage.  Both basement stairs are behind doors which can be locked.

In the end, do whatever makes you happy.

How often are you serving your guests meals that are this formal where people aren’t supposed to be aware of the kitchen or any cooking and how old are you?[/quote]

Apparently, more often than you do. :-) [/quote]
