I'm the opposite of Salt when it comes to an "open floor plan" -- I want nothing to do with it.
We have a third bedroom that is being used as a dining room since the original owner didn't need another bedroom and had the builder add a doorway to connect it to the kitchen. When we get around to renovating the kitchen, the wall between them is coming down.
My husband kept talking about taking the wall between the kitchen and living room down as well. I flat out refused to even consider it. I'm perfectly fine with eating in a dining area that is part of my kitchen, but feeling like I'm cooking in my living room is where I draw the line!
Our house is small enough, and taking it from five rooms down to four is the lowest I'm willing to go.
