The Enlargement Principle

Kerry of The Simple Year had an interesting post and mentioned that "We expand to fit the space available to us". She called it THE ENLARGEMENT PRINCIPLE. She then mentions purse type items. huh, I know this to be true only it happened with our homes!

Our first apartment was a one-bedroom, one-bath with no garage. It was located on my parents property so we also had a storage shed (with a lot of wedding gifts in it).

Second home was a three-bedroom, two-bath condo with a carport. And while we also added two children to our home, our stuff expanded to fit our space. Still using that shed at my parents.

Third/current home is a four-bedroom, 2.5 bath single-family house with a two-car garage. We're still using the shed at my parents, stuff has expanded into the garage AND I have a storage unit with books in it. The good news is that I've listed the books at Library Thing so I know what ones I have, the bad news is that I've removed over 2,000 books from the house and . . . You. Can't. Tell. Also, I have to wait for business hours to access them and need to take someone with me (son) to shift boxes around. Here's another scary thought. What am I going to do with 70+ file boxes once the books are back home?

We don't have plans to move. We aren't downsizing our home or moving into a bigger place. It would be nice to have the space now that we thought we had when we moved in.

I'm getting there.
