I would eliminate the doors and knock down some of the wall making it more open concept to the front hall.

One of my nightmares! :eek: :eek: :eek: They're always doing that on "Property Brothers"-type TV shows. I love it when they act like they are the first person to think of such a thing. :rolleyes: And I really love the de rigueur sledge hammer scenes! :sick: :sick: :sick: I apologize for my vent, sportzgirl916! To each, his own. :drunk: :drunk:

I had a wall knocked out in my kitchen and now I love it. It went from small to much bigger. Sometimes those walls are too restrictive.
 
I know someone who was having a home built, and there was to be a huge open area for kitchen/dining/living room which opened with big windows & patio doors to the deck, & lake. They INSISTED that the dining room area be completely enclosed (except for a doorway...not even a half wall to the living area, thus windows opening to deck, etc. It was sooooo odd, no idea for the why, as there were only 2 people.

I think all the mahogany furniture, and heavy velvet drapes are what makes that room so uninviting.
Downton Abbey rooms are formal.......but much more cheerful. LOL
 
Sports girl, I'm glad that you like your open plan kitchen. My hunting cabin has the open look, and I got used to it. :)

Poirot, your friends' enclosed kitchen sounds nice, but while entertaining, how does she manage not being able to interact with her guests while she is working in the kitchen? :sarcasm: That is the reason always given on those home-remodeling TV shows; guess I watch too many of them! :) :)
 
No, the kitchen is not enclosed, it is the dining room area. The kitchen is open to living room area.
 
Yes, it's just too difficult to completely redo the DiMansion. Instead, Chad and Abigail should embrace its unseemly past and make money giving tours to large groups of excited tourists. After all, they'll need money to pay the taxes and keep the place up. They could run ads something along the lines of:

Visit the exciting, historic DiMera mansion.
  • See the beautiful living room where criminal mastermind Stefano DiMera planned his evil plots and where his pathetic enemies would confront him to no good effect.
  • Visit the comfy bedroom where Salem screecher Sami Brady cruelly shot the handsome EJ DiMera in the head while he was passed out from drinking.
  • Check out the elegant library where Stefano DiMera was allegedly shot by his son, Andre. (We know that rogue cop Hope Brady actually did it.)
  • Enjoy a visit to the elaborate kitchen where "cook" would prepare Mr. DiMera's favorite gourmet meals.
  • Delve deep into the dark lower reaches of the mansion and marvel at the state-of-the-art laboratory where mad scientist Dr. Wilhelm Rolf conducted his experiments, and once actually downloaded John Black's memory onto a DVD.
  • Actually sit on the famed DiMera Love Couch while your guide regales you with the exciting erotic doings that took place on it. (Harold the Butler will also inform visitors about his difficulties trying to keep the couch clean, sweet-smelling, and sanitary.)
  • Thrill to the sight of the dreaded DiMera dungeon cells where Mr. DiMera imprisoned his victims until they either escaped or he got bored with them.
  • Marvel at the numerous secret passages inside the mansion and the dark, dank, mysterious tunnels beneath it.
  • Stroll the romantic DiMera gardens and be puzzled by the total lack of security around the mansion's perimeter.
  • After your tour, visit the fascinating gift shop where you can purchase replica Stefano DiMera portraits, which are suitable for framing; Stefano, Andre, Dr. Rolf, and Bart bobblehead dolls; DiMera sweatshirts and t-shirts; charming lithographs of the DiMansion; DiMera refrigerator magnets; and a copy of The True History of the DiMera Mansion by Chad and Abigail DiMera.

I would say, the first thing I would do, is install a state-of-the-art security system! When Abby was worried about someone being in the house, and Chad saying that everyone was checking, I just laughed. With the kind of money the DiMeras supposedly have, they would not only have an elite security system, they would have a guard house and/or electric gate. The way people just burst into that house on a regular basis just kills me. I find it ridiculous that they wouldn't have a security system, nor has anyone ever mentioned anything about one.

They do have a guard house, electric gate and security system (as they've all been mentioned). But they are apparently never used.

Harold should have used these:

I doubt that any charity would accept that skanky thing. On second thought, frat boys might want it for their front porches. :eek: :eek:

And when you pull the string on the Sami doll's back it will say things like: "EJ has changed," "Stefano is a doodyhead," "John Black ruined my life," "I HATE you," and "Carrie and Belle are stoopid." Other fine products might include Stefano and Andre Hallowe'en masks, tailored DiMera blazers complete with crest, build-the-mansion Lego kits (with secret passages and tunnels), DiMera-themed jigsaw puzzles, a recipe book compiled by "cook," replica shares of DiMera Enterprises stock, and Harold's Guide to Cleaning (Very) Soiled Sofas.

Did anyone notice they started using the room/set with the french doors to the garden and the doors to the entryway/front door again the other day? That room was shown a lot when Sami and EJ lived there then when they were gone they were showing the darker room that seemed either upstairs or further in the house with the chess set.
