kitchen/family combination -- open plan
I like the hung-from-the-ceiling upper cabinets with glass display doors. For one thing, a U or G shaped kitchen is the BEST. Secondly, the kitchen is somewhat screened from view. One could interact with the people in the family room -- or choose NOT to, with some nice blinds or shutters in place. A little rood screen can be a good thing.
