I can understand. My husband and I live in a 600 sq ft studio and we love it. Mostly because it met all the criteria we had: decent kitchen, lots of light, hardwood floors, pre-war building, close to public transportation, bathtub, good internet connection, in our budget, and allows cats & dogs. It really is amazing how much life a small space can hold. So, I was going through your list of “popular posts” and came across this one. I can understand.

I am trying to simplify my life at the moment. Its not an easy task. I’ve never really had anything all that big, but yet I still long for simple and quaint.

I never minded at all. Now, I have three almost-grown/grown kids and we have a big house and I am ready to downsize. But my kids and my hubby are all so SET in this house. We have lived here for 23 years and they can't imagine moving anywhere else. I would love to have a small bungalow and garden, but I don't know when that will happen. I will have to live vicariously through folks like you... I grew up on a dairy farm in LA County in the late 50′s/early 60′s…there were 10 kids in our family and we lived in a teeny house.

Not the least of which is that the fact that coming to conclusions is so often a process. I tend to be the sort of person who will research, ponder, try on and really obsess over decisions (like space) when the reality is, sometimes you need to just figure it out as you go along. We (my little family) are in the same place right now, figuring how to use the space we have (1200 sq.ft. for the baby, the husband and two big dogs) in much better ways. We came to realize it wasn't about the square footage but, as you write, actually ALL about the livable space and making the best use of what you have. This is an excellent post for so many reasons.

The treatment I gave this was in Photoshop; I desaturated the colour and then just increased the blue mid-tones & highlights. I don't actually have or use actions and am actually not that skilled with Photoshop and all that. So it's just basic editing. No secret :) Hi Tracy.
