[quote=Anonymous]I find that in a big house (for me that means anything over 3000 sqft not including the basement), I feel surrounded by empty space.  We have 2 kids, so we can only take up so much space.  I don't like to be surrounded by just space/belongings.  I like to be in some proximity to my people.

We just moved from a 2600 sqft house to a 2850 house and it feels a little big to me.  I also don't like to keep adding to my belongings (furniture, art, nicknacks).  When you move, you realize that you have way too much stuff and it kind of weighs you down.  Less is more!

The key is that a house needs to be the right size in the right places.  People today want med-big kitchens and family rooms and good sized baths.  Our formal living room and dining rooms could disappear tomorrow and we wouldn't care.  So, it's more about where the space is than how much space we have overall.  I'd gladly trade my formal dining and living room for a bigger garage!  Otherwise, we have more than enough space (perhaps too much) in a house with 2850 sq ft.
