Cohousing-L Mailing List: ceiling heights

[Molly Lazar (mollyschaefer]

We recently downsized from a suburban 2300 square-foot house to an 1800 
square-foot house in cohousing.  It doesn't feel smaller, though, and I think 
the key is having higher ceilings.  Your mileage may vary, of course.

We have 2 children as well.  One thing that we realized is how handy it is to 
have extra height in a room for children.  We can have high places for storage, 
as well as bunk beds that you don't have to crawl into.  Bunk beds or loft beds 
can make a child's room seem much, much bigger.
