We moved to a 753 sq. ft. condo in downtown for a couple of years (for work) after the children were grown and gone. The view was wonderful. It had only one bedroom, one bath, one balcony, but 6 closets. The china cabinet became our dresser, with limited display & bookshelves. One closet in the bathroom held our computer desk (we had it wired appropriately). We re-purposed, stored, sold or donated lots of our things. It was hard, but we lived through it. We got to experience a different life than we ever expected and really enjoyed it. Now, in retirement, we live in a house that has two small bedrooms for company and a large master. We get to entertain the grands with sleep-overs, even though we retired to their hometown. Our children do not want our family heirlooms, so we will dispose of those too, someday. I have started taking photos for an album, in advance of the things leaving us. Still so much to do and little time to finish the project (retirement keeps us busy). It is kind of like a quilting UFO I guess....on the back burner until motivation kicks in.
