I bought some magazines today, about half because of the fall pictures (open new issue of Yankee at double page spread of golden orange maple tree on pages 14-15, drink in beauty, and enjoy!). I was paging through them taking out those damn cardboard inserts—I hate those things—and was stopped dead by an article about people buying "smaller" homes. It said that most people were now looking for homes under 2,600 square feet. Say what? 2,600 square feet is small? I'm living in a house that's only 1,500—is this now considered cottage size? Heck, I grew up in a house that was probably 1,000 square feet in actual living space; what was that? A hovel? Wow.

Different times, different expectatons. To someone around 1905, your current place would likely seem palatial.
