Your digs: Lacking entertainment space?

thx for the link ny biker. Some of those models look very similar to our air mattress.

And for the times we don't entertain, there's still a stack of art canvasses to cope with in living rm. --- every day it's been there.

But could I live in a home 1,000 sqft.? No, need. I'm not a very good housecleaner (compared to my partner). Just give me a bigger storage closet.

So we could never think of finding space without discarding a large piece of furniture, to set up training rollers for indoor cycling..which would mean removing the couch or eating table. Basic pieces of furniture.

It's kinda of useless exercise for family members who live in same city with one another (I'm the only one out in Western Canada.), the family gatherings have become big enough that whoever is hosting has given up trying to get everyone sitting down at a table of sorts all at the same time. So things evolve into buffet style ...very quickly. I remember the last time I did the count it was 20 family members and this is strictly my parents, siblings, their spouses and children. But it is a family that walks around in slippers, socks or barefeet..so not much use about dressing up beautifully when you party at any of our homes. We've grown up like this and in much more crowded conditions in the past.

I also live in a fairly small house that limits my entertaining. It never bothered me until recently. I've started cooking a lot more, with some success (yay!). I'd like my next house to have a dedicated dining room in the very least and hopefully useable outside space. I'm otherwise content with living in a small home. I like that it feels cozy. My BF and I are talking about the future though so I may be in the market to buy something new soon.
