Such a pretty home from Veranda Magazine featuring open spaces and gorgeous white decor! This great room has a living room, kitchen and dining room all in one large space. Now this does pose some advantages and some disadvantages but personally I love an open room like this.

My kitchen and dining room are all open with the living room closed only by a small wall, so basically it is a pretty open space. Now when I cook (swearing while I mess up a meal) it is open for all to see. I am possibly the messiest cook around..so this means pots and pans everywhere (disadvantage) but I can cook and chat with the guests at the table and not miss out (advantage). They can also come and stand by the island and help and chat as well (advantage). There is more light in all parts of the room (advantage) but finding any alone space is a bit harder because no matter where you are someone is not far away (disadvantage)......mmmm...so what you think? Do you prefer an open space or closed rooms?
