My house in AZ is about the same size as yours, Beth, and, like you, I fell in love with it at first sight. However, now that my husband and I are getting close to starting a family I'm perplexed at how we will fit one (or even two or three!) more people into our humble home. Your article was very encouraging to me.
If you have any more suggestions on book, craft, and entertainment storing, please pass it on!
