How come when people knock all the walls down in their house, it's called "open concept"?
All of a sudden a room becomes a "concept". Was it a "closed concept" before?
Does that mean it doesn't really exist? What about knocking the whole house down? I guess that's a homeless concept.
"Hey, where did your living room go? Is this that open concept I've been hearing so much about?"
"Yes it is. My husband thinks it's just the same room, with more room in it. What does he know?"
Maybe it helps people justify the cost of knocking walls down. Because "open concept" just means you paid someone to knock shit down. You actually have less shit (fewer walls) after.
"This looks like just a big room."
"Nope, it's a concept. It works better if you get the concept."
"Which is?"
"That it's open."
"I get it, now that you put it that way. Subtlety is expensive."
You're paying for more air in your house. And you can have fun echoing off the outer walls.
A big room costs $5,000. An "open concept" costs $10,000.
"Hey, nice bathroom. Open concept?"
"Of course not. It's just a bathroom."
How do you furnish a concept? With theoretical sofas and chairs?
"Honey, we can't afford a concept right now. Can we go with the theory, or a notion? It's cheaper. Or forget the whole thing and leave it as an hypothesis."
Time to pay the real mortgage.
