[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my house is a late 70s southern colonial with 2,800 sf above grade (another 800 or so sf in a finished basement).  [b]It is so embarrassing having less than 3,000 sf,[/b] so I am thinking about converting the garage into a den and putting another bedroom above the garage (and then building a new 3-car garage next to the existing garage).  I don't need the space, but peer pressure is effective.[/quote]

Really? You need to find new friends.   Do people actually notice or talk about this sort of thing? I mean, that is the saddest thing I have ever heard of re keeping up with the Joneses.

We live in an 800 SF condo in the city. Most people we know do the same, or live in small houses/TH in the burbs.  I really could care less how big my friends' houses are.

I also grew up in a very grand, large, historic house: e.g., pocket doors, library, dining room, living room, etc were some of the rooms on the first floor.  An international fashion magazine used it for a shoot once.   I do get sad that it is no longer in the family, but at the same time, it was a helluva place to insure, maintain, etc.[/quote]
