[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in one of those MoCo brick ramblers and it is fine (bought for $350k in 2003, HHI $92k). I'm a fan of the not-so-big-house.

You may find that if the space you have is nicely arranged and decorated that you don't need a 'twice as big' house.

Of course, this is America, so it is easier to put a 1000 sf bigbox addition on the back of the house or buy some 4500 sf McMansion.[/quote]

I love that site too! I live in 1500 square feet, and I've found that the only solution is to declutter all the time. My poor kids keep asking me why their party favors and old homework assignments are in the garbage, but other than that, decluttering is the only way to be happy in a small place. Also, I've tried to keep things streamlined and easy: only white plates and serving dishes, no extra pots and pans, if I don't use a kitchen gizmo in a year I throw it away. The second my children grow out of their clothing, it is given away. Same with toys. Use one color throughout the home. Built-ins and cabinets. NO KNICKNACKS.

I would love a little more room, but overall I'm happy. I hate McMansions, especially those in suburbia, so this is my "life in the city" trade-off.
