we live out in the country, on 9 acres, but most of the people we know live in subdivisions - it's so interesting to be doing something different than most around us who couldn't think of not living "in town". I love it when people are willing to live what's "right for them" and not keep up with the Joneses! jodi @ bpr's last blog post..WFMW - Is Christmas sneaking up on you?

Didn’t read all of the comments, but just want to say that there is a limit to smallness that one family can stand. I agree that it’s probaby much smaller than most people will admit but I live in a VERY small house and there are times that, despite the extra cleaning it would take, I sincerely wish we could have a nursery. Our bedroom is barely big enough for us and now to fit a crib into it is a challenge.

If you'd like to see how we made a room for our daughter, I wrote about it here: Small Space Solutions: Organizing Kids’ Toys and Books. For us, the key was to limit furniture to only the crib and a small cabinet, and then use wall space for storing toys and books. Thursday, maybe an air mattress would be a good solution for guests.

I'd love to hear how you manage the space with a daughter! Currently my son is living in the living room, and it's very cramped (he's only 2 months old). I'm not sure how I'm going to fit a sofa (or chair) bed in here for guests. My husband has taken over our second bedroom as his office (there isn't any room in our teeny bedroom for even a desk), which is frustrating. He insists he MUST have his own office at home. Thus, I am left with the living room and dining room for tv/baby/etc. I love Jennifer's story, though. I keep wishing we'd gotten rid of more stuff before we moved across the country! I still have a pile of boxes in the dining room...2 months after I moved here. What's weird is that my husband insisted I keep all of my craft supplies... even though I kept trying to get rid of them! thursday's last blog post..Yesterday's Mail...
