[quote=Anonymous]We live in a 2 BR 1,100 sq ft apartment and had our first child while living there. What I have found is that we have gone through several iterations of arrangements of furniture, gradually adding pieces (and giving some away). Every piece we buy gives us more storage. Our coffee table now has storage drawers, for instance. We bought some great IKEA modular storage for the nursery. It helps that our apartment has great closets--no walk-ins, but just lots of them here and there. We've edited our stuff extensively, being honest about whether I'll ever be my pre-pregnancy size, whether we'll use certain things. We keep what has real meaning to us. Since we don't have a basement or attic, we also have a storage unit for a few pieces of family furniture and baby things to save for our next child. One day we'll have a house and use these things--quite possibly a house the size of yours! This experience has really made me re-think how much house we'll really need--the thing is, keeping down clutter and maximizing space takes a fair amount of time and effort. [/quote]
