[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America is crazy, people think they need a separate room for everything.  Gym, office, TV room, playroom, sitting room, etc.  God forbid you have a guest stay in your office room! Or a desk in your playroom!  I prefer smaller, older houses but I know I'm in the minority.[/quote]

We have a 900 square foot house.  The office due to work/school at home is completely filled with desks/computers.  Where would we put a guest?  There is no space in our bedroom for an air mattress for our kid either as it only holds a bed, nightstands and a dresser with a tiny bit of space in-between.  [/quote]

If you have a 900sf house I don't think you are an example of what PP is talking about...?[/quote]

That's exactly WHY I'd want a 4000+ square foot house.  I'd like each of us to have an office, the kid to have an office/music room, guest room, formal living room, formal dining room, family room, workshop...we could easily make use of it all but I don't want to clean it.[/quote]

It's because huge homes with multifunction rooms and guest rooms were previously available only to those who had full time servants.   They are building new homes now with 7-10K sq.ft, I wonder if people who buy them have money for a full time housekeeper, a landscaper/outdoor worker and a poolboy.  lol.  To keep these huge homes and their outdoor spaces in proper condition costs a lot.  It's not just a mortgage expense when you buy these homes, people who live there are loaded enough to employ regular landscaping services, and indoor and outdoor cleaning crews.  Not to mention the costs of furnishing and decorating huge places, you aren't going to get away with cheap looking stuff.[/quote]
