It’s lovely. Whenever we have people over, they always congregate in the kitchen. It’s the heart of the home, I think. :)

People tend to like kitchens or gardens. During football season I know a cadre around here that will huddle around a TV. ;)

But kitchens are natural social gathering place.

Think of the word 'hearth'. It used to be the center of all activity and cooking. Still is, in some cases. It literally is the heart/hearth of the home.
