Our next house will be smaller. I honestly can't remember the last time I walked into our formal living room.

A few years ago we checked out Sarah Susanka's books at the library. Her idea of "small" wasn't close to ours (we started out with a very efficient 660 sf) and they weren't exactly "affordable" either. But her designs are beautiful, emphasizing detail and quality over quantity, and building a house to fit you rather than trying to fit a cookie-cutter house like all the ones they design today.

We built a family room in the basement and turned the living room into a dining room. The five of us are much more comfortable around the dining table than the tiny kitchen table.
