[quote=Anonymous]I would keep the kitchen in the back if possible, and see if you can ditch the overhead cabinets to preserve the windows. One argument in favor of that is that if you ever eat in the backyard, it's a much more seamless transition between the back kitchen and the backyard (compared to you getting food from the kitchen and walking the entire length of the house through the dining room to the backyard door.) I have lived with the front kitchen in a newish house and I grew to really really hate it. No matter how you try to screen it, it really jumps out at you. I am from the culture where kitchens are expected to be shielded from the public areas of the house, and while I tried to get on the open concept horse, I just can't do it. I think there is a sense of calm and beauty that you get from walking into the nice orderly space from the front door (your living and dining rooms, in this case) that you just won't get from the kitchen in front. Just my two cents.[/quote]
