[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people building mansions should stop asking advice from the hoi polloi. What do you think will come of it?

But I will also give my general house building advice, which is--however much closer space you anticipated--double it.  Then double it again.  I would gladly give up my stupid dining room so that the board games don't fall on my head every time I open the coat closet.

Signed,
Person with a lot of kids in a 3000 (or 4500, not sure if they count the basement on zillow) sf home.

Sounds like have a lot of crap.[/quote]

Yes, I have a lot of crap.  I have a lot of kids of different ages and that generates a lot of crap.  Plus lots and lots of books, random crap that was my grandmothers or her grandmothers that I can't really bear to throw out, and stuff like Christmas decorations, luggage, etc.  I never buy myself anything but freely admit I have a lot of crap.  But I think most people underestimate the amount of closet space they need for stuff like holiday decorations, linens, luggage, board games, hand-me down clothes that the younger kids have not yet grown into (that's a whole closet on my house). kids' craft supplies and toys you don't want visible all the time, etc. etc.  [/quote]
