We moved from a larger home to a smaller one last summer and are still adjusting. But your sites make it seem mansion size. Thanks for the new perspective.
My TT: More Than Enough
I live in a very small space. We have learned that it is all about organization and getting rid of stuff that you don’t really need. You would be surprised how much stuff you own that you wouldn’t really miss after a couple of weeks.
Happy TT!
Our house is about 1400 square feet (no basement and no storage space – it’s Florida). And we have 2 adults, 3 kids and a Labradoodle living in it. As the kids get older the house gets smaller! I need to upsize.
Great TT!
We sort of tried to downsize, but our “retirement” home has an attic and basement which we never had before. . . so. . .

Thank you for these great links! We UPsized last time we moved, but I continue to read about small spaces because it helps me stay organized. It’s so easy to spread out otherwise.
I like to pack my life down to the bare necessities but I can’t seem to live that way for long. Clutter happens! Cozy is good.
sure clutter gives us a reason
