Bigger Isn't Always Better

I'm reminded of how easy and relaxing it can be to live in a small space every time we go on vacation. Before we left on vacation I was trying to decide whether to continue to remodel our home or to move to something larger. I realized after spending a week in a two bedroom condo that I definitely do not want a bigger home. I loved being a few steps from every room and every item I needed. There are so many times I hear my phone ring in the office, but let it go to voicemail because I know there's no way I can make it down the stairs and to the front of the house without breaking my neck. If I moved at all it would be to something smaller and without stairs! It would also be nice to concentrate on making each room extra special with more attention to detail. I do love my home and neighborhood so we've decided to stay put (again) and continue to make our home, our home.

Here are some beautiful smaller homes with details usually reserved for estate homes. Just imagine what we could be living in if we put our money into amazing details instead of square footage.

I absolutely adore the first image of the English stone cottage and the French style home with the gravel driveway. I would feel like I was on vacation every single day if I lived there. Which is your favorite?
