Laura A single wall kitchen is ok, UNLESS it's right next to the living area. I would not want my couch (or any upholstered furniture, really) that close to the kitchen. Yuck. Having a table or island to separate things and do double duty (prep/eating area) would be fine though. Some of the kitchens featured are really lovely.

chemistrykaren What a great thread, with some fabulous pics. I have a recently finished one-wall kitchen in my little Victorian house, and adore it. Of course it's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me :). It makes best use of the space I had to work with after knocking down some partition walls to get a view through and door to the back garden. Behind two bi-fold doors to the left are a washing machine with furnace above, and a utility/powder room.

lauraclaycomb I don't understand why people want to put chalk in their children's bedrooms - long exposure to chalk dust is NOT good for growing lungs, and if your child is asthmatic, it could be disastrous! Looks cool, but all those particles in the air... ?
