Our home was built in 1948. During this time period, the floorplan of a home was not open, and most generally, the kitchen was a room of its own, as it is here.
I truly miss the open floorplan of our much newer, former home. But, where that was a more desirable feature, there were also those features that were less desirable, yet here those less desirable features are non-existent. In the end, it really comes down to this - there are always pros and cons no matter the place that you call home.
I'm definitely a fan of eat in kitchens. And I like a kitchen that beckons people in not only to eat, but to sit and chat, to relax and enjoy themselves.
Here are some pictures I really like of eat in kitchen areas that I'd be thrilled to have in my own home! ☺

| The style is a bit too contemporary for my taste, but this kitchen welcomes people in to eat and socialize! |

| The island is absolutely my favorite thing here, along with the glass door cabinets. |
Just dreaming, but it sure has been fun!
