A Guest Poster - GiGi

My friend GiGi just recently downsized to a much smaller home. I thought we'd let her post a few thoughts now and then about the changes this is bringing...

A lot of events have led my family to this small house. Maybe I'll get into that later, but for now, here we are, in a house that is less than 800 sf. Me, my husband, our four year-old daughter, two cats and a few reptiles/amphibians. Oh, and one Betta fish.

It currently looks like a storage unit. (No, the image is not of her house...J)

The layout isn't too bad. There are two stories, two bedrooms, and two bathroom (or 1.75 bathrooms, if we want to maintain some accuracy). The storage isn't great, so we'll have to start working on fixing that. There are great windows, only one door and lots of quirky accents that I think give the house a lot of character. The upstairs "loft" bedroom is pink and our daughter is in love with it. There is one teeny closet in her room and one water heater area that has enough room for the cats' litter box.

We'll get organized. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
