Trust me Jared, more room doesn't help.  I live in one giant room (900 sq ft
/ 22 foot high ceilings).  I have walls of totes with some of everything
from Christmas decorations to my kids nutcracker collection.  I currently
have 7 sewing machines living there (and I don't sew), I have an eight foot
table set up in the kitchen area (with about of foot of useable space on
it), a steam table, a commercial bread rack, a foozball table, a stainless
flatbed trolley, two pavillions plus poles, three tents, a 15 foot
woodworking bench, a four foot lampworking table, four cats, a temporary
roommate and her stuff, etc etc.  Half the stuff isn't even mine!!
Trust me, you get extra space and everyone lets their stuff live there....
Olwen who is happy she has a really large winerack!
