Miriam, I love this concept of looking for a right-sized home! Especially in the past when I've rented furnished homes, I had to work with rooms that dealt me constraints such as having every bedroom set up as just that where I need at least one full home office room and my husband needs at least a partial.
Even when it's unfurnished, I realize that I look for a certain flow of spaces that feel right for my purposes. I could never make a tiny home work and even though I look at some big houses at times like "I want one of those" the reality is it's not practical or necessary.
I'll be looking for "just right" in my next home when I move later this year.
Hi Melanie - it’s a challenge to remember that bigger is very rarely better. Just more to clean and maintain and often still not well designed in terms of function - for you. I’m curious to hear how your search progresses and what challenges your coming across. Maybe a great topic for a few live’s? LMK if you’d be interested!

100% on the more to clean, Miriam. And in certain parts of the country, the utilities are cost-prohibitive.
Thanks for the suggestion, I don’t do video/audio but maybe we can collaborate on a couple of posts down the line.
Adding to my reading list Miriam. Looking forward to it :)
