Showerthought: I paid $2,400 for an open kitchen, and now I hear every dish my wife drops from the couch.
Knocked down the wall 8 months ago and the noise carries so bad I can hear a spoon hit the sink from two rooms away, so if you're thinking about open concept, sit in your living room and picture every pot and pan sound coming straight at you.
My buddy did the exact same thing and now he can hear a fork drop from his bedroom. He thought it would be this great hangout space but he says dinner cleanup sounds like a drum solo in his ear every night. If you cook a lot or have kids, that open wall just turns your whole house into one big echo chamber.
