I like the colour/fabric too! My house is only about 1200 sq feet but it 's been more than adequate for Kazi and I. I don't think I could go any smaller than that and don't see myself in an apartment. It seems to be "just right".

This is of good quality and mid price point,maybe higher than I first wanted to pay, but no other furniture is needed in the family room area.My advice would be to take your time and be sure it works now and in future. This set, because narrow, should work if we go smaller in future, and nice enough that if I only have one living space in future, I'd be happy with either this or current living room set, and could sell or pass on other set.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-76824354396664027692017-01-07T07:02:26.277-06:002017-01-07T07:02:26.277-06:00Movie night after wine club with all three of us l...Movie night after wine club with all three of us last night!SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-21885451106340631512017-01-07T07:01:40.856-06:002017-01-07T07:01:40.856-06:00Schneidermans-not sure if they are Minnesota only ...Schneidermans-not sure if they are Minnesota only but brand is Broyhill so should be available anywhere in U.S.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-30957900514787993472017-01-07T06:58:13.531-06:002017-01-07T06:58:13.531-06:00Our bedrooms aren't large, but there's fou...Our bedrooms aren't large, but there's four, three up and one in the 1/2 basement level which will be converted back to my office now. My kids, because of age and gender, didn't share rooms as I gave up office when DD2 came. Toddler and teen seed a stretch to share.Thats when we bought the computer armoire as a pseudo office in back of family room.

Our Seattle house is huge (3100 sq ft), & our current rental is smaller (2000) and our vacation house is even smaller (1800). I prefer the layout of the vacation house best. For a vacation house, a fourth bedroom would be amazing, because we are constantly entertaining. But, I love the small size. Our current rental is about the right size, but has a not great layout that makes the space so much less usable. <br /><br />We will definitely buy a smaller house when the kids are out of the house.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-15943368698885556412017-01-06T11:50:52.041-06:002017-01-06T11:50:52.041-06:00I see so many parallels with people in our age bra...I see so many parallels with people in our age brackets. Simplicity over size, experiences over stuff. I feel a little stupid going on and on about a piece of furniture, but only because I think it will add to the simplicity I am craving. Having a crew of people over enjoying a football game as opposed to a loud crowded pub. Spending an evening as a family movie night, DD2 having sleepovers with kids sprawled across the seats, is all part of what I envision; what we had before the flooding. We haven't decided on smaller house, townhouse, or condo when we eventually retire, but it will be smaller.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-8472947547457459192017-01-06T11:44:29.063-06:002017-01-06T11:44:29.063-06:00Maybe too much.

I'm so glad that you're happy with it after such a long wait. <br />We had a very small home when we first married - living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a tiny bathroom which had been made by taking space from a bedroom. It had been built in 1876 and at one time housed 10 people, while a neighbouring one housed 15! I often look back at how little ' stuff' we had when we moved from there, compared with when we moved to this house 19 years later. I just have one room which has clutter in it now - the attic room. All other rooms have been sorted and stuff donated/ sold/ binned. We will be starting on the attic room soon as I want part of it as a crafting studio.<br />We are considering downsizing to an apartment in another area of England once J retires.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-85075727017510956262017-01-06T10:52:26.600-06:002017-01-06T10:52:26.600-06:00Nice looking sofa.
