Default Re: Living in a smaller house

Those little houses were more expensive than I anticipated.....
My mother hated our little house growing up, but, now, has one she feels it too big. Ours is about 1800 sq ft of actual living space and is just about right for the two of us. The problem with this house is no closet space. Only small closets in bedroom and one other that is now our pantry. Keeps you from storing stuff I guess! I really enjoy the spaciousness of mom's big house when I visit. But couldn't afford one that size in this part of the country. Funny, growing up we really didn't mind the little house cos we spent all our time outdoors in all that space we had. It just seemed cozy to us. Now I have a bigger house, but a little yard. Do wish the bedrooms were much bigger. For some reason, builders here make small bedrooms.
