As the price of real estate in many areas of the Canadian market continues to rise, first-time buyers can find it increasingly challenging to find a house that fits their family. Growing families already in their own houses are also feeling the pinch – outgrowing their present home and anxious to find living space that “works”.

There always seems to be this persistent longing for more and bigger – magnificent looking estate homes boasting more square footage than anything we have right now. Have you ever eagerly visited one of these larger homes, ignoring the smaller lot size than that of your former home, opening the front door and finally being underwhelmed by…space? Walking away from such a visit myself one time, I could not help but feel that the STEEP surcharge on the attractive façade and extra interior square footage would bring an acute sense of buyer’s remorse.

In contrast, I remember several years ago, when I used to pick up my sons from their babysitter’s house. Dorothy was a grandmother who used to babysit her 4 other grandchildren during the day in her 3-bedroom ranch bungalow. That house never ever seemed confining or too small, no matter how many guests she had at Christmastime. I remember walking into the kitchen and seeing 6-7 children in Omi’s kitchen sitting at the oversized dinette booth playing crokinole or Monopoly. How that space worked! It’s no wonder that this feature (dinette booths) has found its way back in many homes. It made me think: What could we get by on if we used every square foot of our house and fully inhabited the space we lived in?
