I'm a sentimentalist, too, it's hard to condense collections when there are feelings attached. I don't know the exact numbers regarding square footage, but the first house was somewhere around 800 square feet the new house, was about 900/1000 before we added the kitchen. Both houses have finished basements which dramatically increase living space...especially with kids!Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-47969331930599287582021-04-19T18:00:03.202-04:002021-04-19T18:00:03.202-04:00They have beautiful voices.

I live in a small house (960 sq feet) and it is not very open. We moved from a 2400 sq ft house and I can't seem to throw anything!! Every room looks like an art gallery. I am not and never will be a minimalist. I keep going through and going through my treasures (junk) but so much of it is sentimental to me, so it is hard to throw. Thanks for sharing your home. BTW, what was your square footage on your last home across the street compared to this one?

We have mosquitoes something terrible and at our new ouse we hd an extended living area built along with the house. To be able to enjoy it will require screening in. We walk out there and think we can do it ourselves so maybe this will give us the push we need. I have that exact screen door picked out for when we do take the plunge.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283260830637529760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-62106758714148005022016-08-22T11:48:40.217-04:002016-08-22T11:48:40.217-04:00Holly, I am so glad you were able to find some ins...Holly, I am so glad you were able to find some inspiration here!! We have longer winters here too, and while we can't sit out there when the big snow comes, we do enjoy the space deep into the fall.

My husband and I just relocated to Florida from New Hamphire and I told him we were not buying any house without a sitting area and pool. We're closing on a home on the 11th...it has a caged in sitting area and pool!

Thanks so much for sharing and for the terrific idea, now I just need to get my handy husband to build me one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128936239306796402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-14508292442933297972016-06-05T14:44:04.022-04:002016-06-05T14:44:04.022-04:00I say do it, Lisa!! :) I say do it, Lisa!! :) Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-23522028099873250052016-06-05T14:43:46.856-04:002016-06-05T14:43:46.856-04:00Thanks so much, Sam!

The only problem for us is that it's so hot here that we'd have to have an a/c window unit to be able to enjoy it. Our humidity is so terrible here. I've even had dreams that I all of a sudden discovered a "hidden" extra room in our house. Lol! I guess that's how badly I long for a room like this. It would be so nice to have extra space to filter out to after holiday dinners, etc. Maybe one day. :) Oh, and what's funny is that we live about 40 minutes from the beach (Galveston) but I can't stand the beach. Ha! I know that's just because it's so hot here and the sand sticks to you, etc. I do however love California beaches. Go figure. ;) Anyway, y'all did a wonderful job and I bet you get hours of enjoyment out of it.
