[quote=Anonymous]I am the no way poster.  We got a 900 square foot house with no kids.  Two kids later and its a tight fit.  One bedroom is tiny and only a twin and a dresser and bookshelves fit.  No room for having friends over as the living room is so snug.  Our bedroom is basically a queen sized bed.  We are very limited on material things but it sucks not to buy things due to space vs. money.  We intended to redo the attic but it would easily be $200,000 and at that point, you might as well move further out (we no longer have the same jobs so for us this location is good but not a necessity).  To redo the basement will easily be $40-60,000 which we plan to do but it will still be a small playroom, spare room and bathroom.  At some point, it just feels small.  I would not want a huge house, but at least 1500-1800 square feet.  The positive is that it is easy to keep track of the kids.

We came into the house with very little and have been slowly buying furniture to fit.  Its hard to find furniture to fit when there is no space.

I like our house but we've spent a fortune renovating, still have a long way to go and its always going to be small and crammed.   Fine for two, but four is hard, especially with one bathroom.[/quote]
