The kitchen is one of those rooms in the house that should “always” be open to the rest of the home.  That is a true statement according to me.  That’s a fact and should never ever cross the line for two reasons.  Reason number one:  The cook should never feel they are in a box and reason number two:  The cook should never feel they are in a box.  Just so ya know.

However, when we moved to this place (May 2010) it was not the case.  There are two entrances to the kitchen and both have swinging doors, not exactly my idea of “open”.  See my reasons (above) for not wanting to be in a box.

But the view from the kitchen sink makes all my preconceived ideas of what I thought would be ideal to one of embracing a little more flexibility.  I certainly don’t feel like I’m off in a box and I’m still learning that there is value in flexibility.  I do love the open feel, no box here!

Flexibility is good.  Sometimes we just might be surprised if we give the things that may not be what we had in mind a try.  Great things are bound to happen!
