We have lived here so long (30 years last month) that I think our feet have grown. If I remember correctly we were told we have 1400 sq feet (probably included the garage) so that would be divided by 2 = 700 sq feet per person.

Our modest house is 1200 sq. feet with 3 of us, 1 more will be added in August so I went ahead and divided by 4. So we have about 300 feet per person. Our old house was about 800 sq. feet.

Since you asked so nicely, I’ll de-lurk =) I’ve been reading since you were pregnant with your youngest-yikes! That’s a long time without commenting!

Anyway, our home has 984 sq ft for what will soon be 5 people. So 196.8 sq ft a person. Really not bad, all things considered. Guess I should quit complaning (we too have a non-existant playroom).

We also live in the Midwest (among the wide open spaces/horse and buggies etc) =)

ok, this was pretty easy math for me. There are three of us and our house is 3,000 sq. ft so we get 1,000 ft. each. Pretty ridiculous, isn’t it? I’d love to fill it with more little ones!!

She’s being nice. Her idea of non “utilitarian” is what I call cluttered. I love you anyway, though, Heather.

Let’s see. I’m going to need my calculator for this. Do we count basements and closets and porches?

I guess I will ’cause we use them all. Although we don’t have a basement, just a crawl space and we never go down there. Soooo…drumroll please…I think we each have around 300 sq ft.

Cool.

Just for the record…I am Christa’s sister-in-law and she is simply a genius in making a small home work. Somehow, she shifts and moves and makes it all fit. And it’s doesn’t even look utilitarian! It’s actually a very pretty home!
