Can you see your kitchen from your front door?
Comments (26)This is what you see when you come in our front door: But since hardly anyone comes into our house through the front door, this is what you actually see. The patio door entrance is to the left of the refrigerator, which is the way most people arrive: And this is what that view used to look like: Obviously the open concept doesn't work for everyone, and doesn't always fit the architecture of the house. i grew up in PA where very old houses were the norm, and mostly small and closed off were how a lot of the rooms were. When I first moved west I thought that was what I wanted, but moving to the bay area in CA - for a young couple-we were just happy to find a house we could afford, and this was a long time ago. When we moved into this house, almost 34 years ago, I really liked the open concept, such that it was. And there was a formal dining room, which I wanted. But that room really cut things up, and contributed to the choppiness of the space, and the less than ideal function of the kitchen. Removing 2 walls, the refrigerator wall in the first "before" pic above, and the hutch/desk wall in the 2nd, made our kitchen visible from a lot of our living area. But to us the openness enhances not only the form, but most especially the function.

Comments (19)Our entry door is a 42" X 94" three panel archtop in an 80" wide archtop surround with sidelights. The door is stained mahogany. (It's not $real mahogany$, but looks pretty close!) It's weathered well over ten years, despite facing north. It's protected by a roofed stoop about five feet deep. Furniture movers like our house. All passage doors are 36" wide....See MoreWhat's on your front door?
Comments (34)I've got a fine coating of lovely, lovely dust on my current front door too. But our new iron door is currently being fabricated, and I can't wait to get it! The glass opens from the inside, so will be much easier to keep clean than our current door with its fixed glass panel. This is a mockup of what it will look like:...See Morehoovb zone 9 sunset 23
