My current lover and I have both [separately] commented that the coolest thing on the entire planet would be living next door to/on the same block as each other... but not in the same house. Close enough to have breakfast together in the mornings, or drop by spur of the moment, or choose to spend the night together, but far enough apart to each be our own hermit-y introverted selves. Best 'o both worlds, in my book! Autonomous and Committed: Living Apart Together Flag this comment	4/26/12 10:56 PM
It's interesting to me that the family standing in front of the Levittown House is a family of 5. Living in an 800 sq ft home. Most of today's families couldn't comprehend squeezing into a home that small [as a family of 5]. I rent a 1,068 sq ft home [3 bedrooms/1 bath] built in 1951; I also have 5 children who live with me two weekends a month. When I was house hunting, everyone I knew said I HAD to have a 2,000+ sq ft/5 bedroom house or we wouldn't "fit". No one could believe that a "large family" could fit into a modest home. I refused to look at anything over 1,000 sq ft, or built after 1955. LOL It actually works just fine - the house has good bones, good traffic flow, enough space when the kids are here, and I'm not wasting resources heating/cooling an extra 1,000 sq ft when they aren't. :-) The Ever Evolving American Dream: Size, Style & Amenities Flag this comment	7/15/11 1:24 PM
Yesterday's treasure was this chair for $8.98. I spent all day trying to get people are work to understand how freaking cool it is; alas, they all just shook their heads at my craziness. LOL What Thrift Store Find Do You Treasure Most? Flag this comment	7/1/11 8:01 PM
