Re: Do You Like A Passthrough Window Between Kitchen And Living Room?

Hmmm, while we do have that "opening" between the kitchen and the dining room, I have never passed food through it. Smiley Very Happy

@cuddlesmama The opening is long?   It should be something like a hole in the wall that has been refined with a cabinet underneath and living/dining or great room on the other side.  I never heard of a pass-through being long.  How does that work?

Are you sure it's not just an opening for light?

@ECBG  That is hard for me to believe that you graduated from the school of architecture with a 5-year-degree in interior design and you have never seen a pass-through from kitchen to great room/dining room or living room? 

 

@Nonametoday  You mis-read.  She didn't say she's never seen one.  She stated she's never been in a home that had one.  I haven't either.

I am not sure of the difference between a pass through and an island


@I am still oxox   An island is something you can walk around completely. 

 

If it's attached to a wall on at least one side, it's not an island. 

 

A pass-through is kind of like a large window cut out of the wall.

No, it would remind me of a diner with a window like that to pass food through.

I don't think I'd like a pass through to my living room. To a family room, dining room, or sunroom would be ok. 

We have a sunroom off our kitchen. The kitchen window was removed so there's an opening there. It's not a pass through though. 

When we remodeled our kitchen many years ago, we knocked out half the wall that separated and closed off the kitchen from the dining room. I like the open space of the kitchen and dining area much better now.

Re: Do You Like A Passthrough Window Between Kitchen And Living Room?

In my first apartment right out of college back in 1976 there was a pass through window from the kitchen.

 

I wouldn't want one today.
