Wanted to chime back in and say that I'm thankful that my kitchen is the biggest room in my house. Unfortunately, they put the cabinets on the two shortest walls and didn't really think the space through when they upgraded the kitchen sometime in the last 10 years, but that's storage space I can actually add when I have a bit more money. Architecturally, there really isn't a way to add closets so I'm working with what's here. Though I am thinking of adding built-ins in the eaves of my bedroom when I get over my fear of finding out what the squirrels did in there last summer!

My dream is a small cabin in the woods with a sleeping loft and one big open space downstairs.
