Also, I’m a fan of keeping the living area separate from the kitchen/dining area. These renovations that create one massive room on the first floor just aren’t very inviting to me.

I like siting in the worn wingback chair in our livin’ room on a Sunday afternoon, listening to the radio, and staring through the tricklin’ yellow light at the trees along our street. I imagine it’s just like the former owners did back in the olden times… ‘cept maybe they read Herm Melville or Tommy Hardy on the Sabbath whilst wearing a spiff smokin’ jacket instead of flippin’ through “Guns Illustrated” wearing a “who farted?” t-shirt.

I think I’d have a hard time with my relaxin’ if the ceiling were so high, the a/c was whooshing through exposed spiral pipe (boy, that’s ugly too), the room was larger than casino at Caesars, and I found myself plopped down on one of them there “plasma sexy couches” .

Nah.

The finishes look good, and the kitchen has a lot going for it, I’ll give it that. But all said, I don’t think one should be living in loft-like conditions if you aren’t living in a loft.
