We too will be downsizing within the next couple of years. Our home, yard and pool are too large and getting so hard to maintain. We want to go to a single story home. We have a two-story right now. As I watched our folks try to manage our stairs I realized that this is not a home we will be able to retire in. We do have another home in the San Diego area that is half the size of this one and single story that our son and his wife are living in. When we retire there I am taking over one entire bedroom for my sewing area. Hubby already knows this. That will leave our master bedroom and one other bedroom for guests. Enough room to my thinking for houseguests. lol
