As of about two weeks ago, when the wall came down mid-kitchen-renovation, we can!! Even without countertops and appliances (due this week and next), I love it. Countertops and appliances will be a big improvement, of course :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485596 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:52:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 485596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an open floor plan, but there's a wall separating the kitchen and the dining room, so the only way to see it is through the door way. But, if you're in the living room, you can see the dining room and kitchen easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485583 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:49:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 485583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a dining room, we have a really long eat in kitchen though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485571 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:46:49 +0000 Bookish 485571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a very open floorplan, and the kitchen/dining room are one 'room'. I also love that there is a big cut-out over part of the counter top in the kitchen, so I can watch tv while I prepare dinner! looove it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485566 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:45:44 +0000 JoJoGirl 485566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our whole first floor is just one long "room" - kitchen one end, table in the middle, living 'room' on the other end. So yes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485564 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:44:57 +0000 Alivoo01 485564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a "dining room", just a breakfast nook, but that's where our dining table is. And I can see it in the kitchen because it's one rectangular room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485239 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 07:24:13 +0000 BelugaBean 485239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but it's really open so our dining room table is pretty much in our kitchen. They're also open to the living room. I never thought I'd like it very much but it's very handy with a baby to be able to see everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485233 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 07:18:18 +0000 heffalump 485233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Right now when I'm cooking I pull los high chair into the kitchen, or we have her play kitchen and magnets on the fridge for her to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485208 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 06:48:26 +0000 mrs. bird 485208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We have a small gally kitchen that is the connection from the open living room/dining room to the bathroom/ bedrooms end. It opens at a diagonal into the dining so it's pretty open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485168 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 04:38:03 +0000 MamaMoose 485168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. There is a doorway from the kitchen to the formal dining room. But it's at the end of the kitchen so it's not in the direction I'm facing while I'm prepping or cooking food. But on one side our kitchen is totally open to the living room. And there is an area in our kitchen/living room that currently houses the pack n' play but once M is bigger we'll put a small kitchen table there so I'll be able to see her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485147 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:34:28 +0000 sylvie_b 485147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our kitchen, dining and living room are one big open space....we love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485033 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:24:24 +0000 BoogieBea 485033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, our kitchen is open to our kitchen table. Our family hangs out in this area a lot. A friend of our built their kids' playroom right next to them kitchen when they renovated their house. I thought that was so smart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-485030 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:18:09 +0000 shopaholic 485030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our "formal" dining room/table are behind a separating wall with a doorway from the kitchen. But we have a main table we usually eat at in between the kitchen and the family room (all one big rectangle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484954 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:19:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 484954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it's one long room (kitchen and living room). I don't even call it a "dining room table" it's a "kitchen table" and is nestled in the kitchen. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484899 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:40:55 +0000 lawbee11 484899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a doorway from our kitchen to the formal dining room, so you can see it, but it's not really open concept. But we have a breakfast nook area where we do our day-to-day eating that is connected to the kitchen, so we can definitely see that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484876 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:34:02 +0000 StbHisMrs 484876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it's on the other side of the oven, the wall doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling though. The kitchen is open to the family room, and the dining room is open to the living room, it's a little wonky!, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484858 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:23:26 +0000 luckypenny 484858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484851 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:17:50 +0000 prettylizy 484851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, our main floor is a nice big open space kitchen living dining room is all in the same view. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484834 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:09:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 484834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can see it when I'm at the stove but not when I'm at the sink. It's in a separate room but has an open doorway to the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484788 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:34:08 +0000 Meridian 484788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our kitchen, dining room and living room are all in one big square room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484640 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:46:05 +0000 Bao 484640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we live in a small apartment so I can see just about everything from the kitchen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484587 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:33:54 +0000 Grace 484587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - I don't like kitchens that are all closed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484578 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:32:07 +0000 matador84 484578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have an open floor plan, but our kitchen is connected to the eating area but not open to the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484567 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:28:51 +0000 mamabolt 484567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but we have plans to eventually knock down the wall between the two rooms and make things open concept. I can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484501 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:10:16 +0000 .twist. 484501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we have an open floor plan. Although we don't have a formal dining area, it's more of a kitchen nook to fit a regular kitchen table. I do love the set up although I wish the nook was just a TAD bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484497 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:08:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 484497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - we have an open concept floor plan centered around the kitchen, so from the kitchen you can see into the dining room and living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484495 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:06:45 +0000 mrskc 484495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. The kitchen and dining are in one big room. I do wish the living room was open to the kitchen too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484478 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:54:54 +0000 mrsmate 484478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have an open floor plan so I can't see the dining table from every angle. But our DD's play kitchen is in our kitchen so she's usually hanging out in here while I'm cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-see-your-dining-room-table-from-your-kitchen#post-484477 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:54:45 +0000 lemondrop 484477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same design as you, I like to be involved with the family while cooking. I've never really been a fan of formal dining rooms!</p> <p>Incidentally, yesterday while we were cooking breakfast Cam learned: "out, out, out," since I yell it at the dog and cats all the time in the kitchen. It had me and my MIL dying laughing...guess I better watch what I say- thought I'd have another year before that! </p>
