Revisions log for Answer #743

I hate open kitchens. I mean, really. I want to be able to work in the kitchen, but I don't want to look at bowls of fruit, kettles, toasters, etc. from the couch. The tendency to make all these things invisible for a heck of a lot of money, until the kitchen matches the beige-gray-black lacquered sofa-lounge combo with the TV, I'm dying of boredom.

We have a 22-square-foot kitchen and an extra room next to it as a living room. So you don't have to wipe kitchen fumes off the piano. Plus, the dog bowl is far enough away and doesn't necessarily fit into the design concept.
