zonkkie 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 We are planning our renovation and one of the things that we like to do is an open concept kitchen so that we can have an island. And when I say open concept, I mean REALLY open concept, no glass doors that can be closed whatsoever. We don't really cook a lot, maybe 1-2 times a week and its like simple dishes such as pasta or teriyaki chicken, etc. However, we are concerned that our lifestyle might change say 5 years down the road and we will regret our decision. Does anyone have an open concept kitchen and can share their experience and advice? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your Fujioh hood is good enough.... u mean 'just in case we choose deepfrying diet' in future?? its more like just in case we get tired of guests walking in freely whenever we host, n will like to shut them out of kitchen discreetly with closed door.
