[quote=Anonymous]I am amazed at the strong opinions on this one. I live in a Capitol Hill rowhouse. Most renovated houses in our neighborhood have a completely open floor plan: One big(gish) room that functions as living room, dining room, and kitchen. At first, that's what I wanted to do with our house--probably because that's all I saw. But DH insisted we keep the walls. Now I am so glad we did. I think that in a smaller house like ours (not tiny, like some rowhouses, but 2,000 square feet including the basement), having no walls on the main level makes it feel even smaller. Your eye has nowhere to rest but the back of the house. And there is no getting away to read or do homework unless you go to a bedroom. So we widened doorways and keep things minimal. But we still have our walls. For a larger house, I think there's more flexibility. I mean, I can't even imagine having a living room AND a family room.[/quote]
