Small house sadness

[nc909]

Does anyone else in a small house get really sad that their house is small?

we’re only two people and unlikely to have children. So we don’t need a big house. Ours is a small 1930s semi. Combined living and dining space and a small kitchen.

I just get so envious of other people’s kitchens and downstairs toilets and separate dining rooms.

I understand how you feel op.

My first flat was a small 2 bed. When I bought it (and for a few years after) I absolutely adored it. It was simply perfect. After a whole I started to crave a bit more space. I don’t have children so I don’t ‘need’ more space, I just want it. I kept having these recurrent dreams in which I would find a door behind my fridge in the kitchen and that door would led to the rest of the flat wirh more rooms and even a small garden.

So eventually I sold up and bought a larger 3 bed terrace. The dreams stopped 😀. Once again, I adored my house when i moved in 4 years ago, and I still do, I can’t believe my luck that I got this house… But…I have recently started to find myself looking at my rooms and imagining them a bit wider, I’ve started to really want a downstairs toilet, a wide entrance hall and a kitchen island. I don’t want more than 3 bedrooms, just a bigger kitchen, and the extra toilet. And in this moment in time I am convinced that this is all I want. Except that, a few years from now, I may return to this thread to explain how I moved to a 4 bed house with a big kitchen island etc etc and yet, somehow, I could use a bit more space 🤣🤣🤣🤣
