My partner & I have a pretty small house! I truly don’t mind having a small house.
I know it feels truly homey & cozy.
I would not trade my apartment for a larger one if I could! My friend and I do have a full size basement though, & my associate and I had not truly used it for anything for years. It was just wasted space with a little bit of storage down there. I was determined to find a way to use that space, so I decided to make an office in the basement. I made the office in the middle of June, & I used it for many months with no problem. It was not until mid September that I realized it was a bit too chilly down there, & I found myself taking my office work upstairs to the entryway most mornings just so that I could stay warm. My partner asked my why I was doing all of my work upstairs, & I told him that it was because the basement was too cold, but he told me that he could buy a fireplace to go down there for me, but I told him that it wasn’t necessary. I decided to just buy an electric space furnace instead, however well, that was a mistake because it did almost nothing. I know it brought up the temperature about five to ten degrees, but it was not enough for me. I cannot feel I wasted money on that space heater. It was quite costly for how little heat it puts off. I know I am going to sell it & have my partner buy me a fireplace like he advocated.
