I love the space shown in the photos. I agree that introverted children and extroverted children need different spaces, but why schools cannot offer both open space and closed space? Why always just one or the other? I, too, needed a quiet space to learn in when I was a child, but there are other ways to get that than just traditional classrooms. Having some indoor open areas such as shown above and also have some smaller rooms with doors would be perfect, to me.

Well said, Spacesha. I agree.

How is this post arrogant or rude? It is not like the poster named the people or homes. I am in the design profession myself and I always notice details such as these in houses I visit. Some work, some don't. Some people have horrible taste, IMHO. Now, I would never tell these people this to their face (unless specifically asked to do so by them), but I would feel comfortable writing an article and saying that I have been in houses that are disorganized, or badly designed. People get so defensive, and they assume everything is about them.

Guests? Yes, it is good to clean for them, but actually I like having a clean house for myself and my family. Now that does not always mean that it is clean, or even presentable (we work and have kids), but I sure apprecaite it when it is.

I love all these tips! It is nice when people give advance notice, but life doesn't work that way and you can miss out on seeing people that you might not see otherwise. We are not ten minutes away, but we are about 30 minutes away from unexpected company,a nd that is often enough.
