Speaking of this... how many of you take your meals at table in an eat-in kitchen, versus a seperate dining room?
At my condo, my kitchen is eat-in and I have no seperate dining room. Many homes have a formal dining room unconnected, or out of view of the kitchen. I personally don't like a table right smack dab in the middle of the kitchen like I have now. But I think I do tend to prefer a dining table say- on the other side of a counter/bar or island, within view of the kitchen- just not smack dab in the center of all the appliances and the action. I think I like my guests to have some connection to what's going on in the kitchen, even if they themselves have no desire to be directly involved. Yet I don't want that dining table/chairs/sitting guests to necessarily be under-foot as I make my way 'round the stove, sink and fridge...
