[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is just no way they are happy in that house. No way. Have you been watching her "rearrange furniture" for their sitting area next to the kitchen? It's basically an entry way at best with mini furniture that belongs in a college dorm. I understand the desire to downsize, but usually when people do, they downsize to something smaller but nicer or equally as nice. They've downsized and seriously down-graded. It's weird. There has to be something else going on behind the scenes.[/quote] [b] I wish they had “intentionally” downsized meaning they had planned how to best maximize a smaller house through clever design and space planning. [/b]This house is so chopped up and has no good flow. They live 2 blocks from the beach and the house could have been a really lovely one with some substantial changes to improve the living. They could have built a small addition upstairs for a new master bedroom and bath, keeping the family space and deck. Shifting the staircase and using the downstairs as one big kitchen/family space with a large walkout deck. So many possibilities and all they did was keep the basic existing footprint and update the bathroom and floors.[/quote] You must be forgetting about the innovative olive oil/salt jar drawer. Check out John describes it like having your cooking oil on its side in a dedicated drawer is a happy accident. lol [img] https://www.younghouselove.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Florida-Kitchen-Organization-Oil-Drawer-1024x885.jpg [/img] [i] So here we are: our olive oil drawer. Yes, it literally contains a single bottle of EVOO and a jar of salt. All of our spatulas and cooking utensils are on the counter, so this drawer didn’t really fit much else (even our rolls of foil and plastic wrap didn’t fit), but it’s actually nice to have our cooking oil near the stove and in a cool dark place. By some small miracle Sherry even had a plastic bin that fit the olive oil bottle and the drawer perfectly so errant drips don’t ruin the drawer. [/i][/quote]
