I dislike "open concept" kitchens
Apparently this is a hot take but IMO, cooking noises and smells should be isolated rather than... amplified and spread throughout the rest of the dwelling
@sidereal I like those kitchens with an island so we can chase each other around it. And with a nice big pantry too. With my youngest we'll do a puzzle one piece at a time and act out the vehicle or animal while running around in a big circle through the kitchen, entryway, and living room.
@sidereal whenever my grandma would see open kitchen floor designs, she'd say "oh great, so everyone can see the dirty dishes when they walk through the front door"
@CorvidCrone @sidereal
Even better all the houses where the primary outside access door opens into the kitchen! Yes, I love it when my family tromps through the kitchen with muddy shoes on while I'm trying to get a hot pan out of the oven
@ordinoides @CorvidCrone Oh that's cursed as hell
There are so many oddly designed homes in the world!!
@sidereal I do wonder whether this problem would go away in places with safely high levels of air exchange and filtering, a thing the current airborne pandemic is the latest thing to show we need and won't be getting under capitalism.
