“Wait a second,” Garcia-Navarro replied. “Are you telling me that the open-plan concept, which we are all prisoner to, is because dudes like to watch HGTV and sledgehammers?”
I'm not sure this was written to be funny, I laughed. It's interesting to me where these trends and cultural things pop up, like how reality tv was born out of a writers strike in LA leaving producers desperate to fill airtime without writers.
Yep. And it’s impossible to float above it all. (Sometimes I try to!) But the unavoidable existence of taste and style are proof that no man is an island.
I'm so glad that we passed on the open-plan houses we looked at years ago. The primary reason was that we were fostering kids at the time, sometimes as many as four kids in the house, and we felt that we'd all go crazy if we tried that in an open-plan house.

Oh had those writers never gone on strike...what a world we might have.

Growing up in a house with lots of kids I completely get what you're saying! lol
