I hate the giant room with kitchen stuck to one wall look. It's trendy. Will phase out eventually.

No it isn't. DC is the District of Columbia. If you don't live there, you don't live there. Period.


The core is DC

Only the poors call shit like that DC.


More than 232,000 D.C. residents — 40 percent of the city’s population — receive either food stamps, Medicaid assistance, welfare checks or some combination of the three, according to Department of Human Services Director David Berns.

I like walls and think that well-designed separate rooms can have great flow. The one big open space feels too "busy"- when you're downstairs there is no way to get any quiet and peaceful space. Certainly you can hole up in your bedroom, but that makes me consider the one giant room to be less functional.

I hate those chappy knee walls and prefer one larger space separated by ceiling or wall architecture like in the picture. The way to get it right is for it to be a large house like in the picture.

Do you entertain a lot? I guess don't really feel the need for "flow" in my house. I'd rather have 2 large rooms than one ginormous room like the pics above.

For those who like/want a separate dining room, why? We had one in the house I grew up in, and used it maybe a half dozen times a year. We used the area off the kitchen for meals.

And I really like an open floor plan for the space and flow.

I absolutely hate those floor plans. Then again, I live in DC in a simple house with rooms and walls, so I guess that's win-win
