3 1/2 years ago we downsized from a 4400 sq ft house to a 2400 square foot house. No, I know that 2400 is not small but it was a large adjustment. My husband rums his business out of our home so that take us about 400 square feet. We have one guest room, my sewing room and our bedroom. Out next downsizing will be into a fifth wheel trailer in about another 4 years. The older most of us get, the less those "things" mean to us. We are still getting rid of things (the local Goodwill store loves us) and our only daughter will be finished with Grad School buy the end of the spring so we hope she will take the stuff she wants soon. When we shop for our fifth wheel trailer my sewing and my husbands hobbies are high on our list of "must haves". I won't be able to take my entire stash with me, but we will have a small home base where I can keep a lot while I travel with enough to keep me busy.
