Owner Not So Sure About Open Kitchen


All of his friends were doing it, so the seller of this modern Lincoln Park single family home thought that was what he should do. He had already followed their advice on those pricey granite countertops, and even pricier stainless appliances. But within weeks of using his new open kitchen, he realized something wasn't right. "I would be, like, you know, trying to cook dinner, and my date would see that I wasn't cooking anything but just taking it all out of the Trader Joe's package. Didn't look very cool. So, I said, screw my friends, I'll put up a curtain, kinda like the hospital, so now, when my dates come over, I just pull the curtain closed. Now, that is something people should follow."

Owner Tired of Laundry Peep Shows

Enough is enough. This was the sentiment shared by a fed-up North Center home owner. After an extended honeymoon period where she enjoyed weekly peep shows provided by her stackable wash & dry, she has demanded that her machines decide if they want to take it all off, or get locked behind some Chinese drywall, but she is tired of this insufferable relationship they now have.
