If you are going to walk the walk, you should talk the talk.

ENFILADE: Architectural term for a series of rooms with doors in line with each other, providing a vista through the suite of rooms. A common feature in grand European architecture from the baroque period, although it appeared earlier.  Also frequently used in museums and art galleries because it aids in the movement of large groups of people through a space.
