| Pillows for seats! |
As all the real estate descriptions and reality home-buying shows tout, "entertaining" is a very important part of every day living; you can expect that everyone will love being entertained in your home. So the question when you have a small house is, how many friends can you smoosh into it?
When I was single and lived in my little apartment, I liked to have parties and get-togethers a lot. Luckily, everyone liked to cuddle:
 |
| Dinner is almost always buffet-style. |
 |
| Small houses: good for games, not so much for dancing. |
 |
| Sometimes people have to share chairs. |
Now we have a house that is only slightly larger than that apartment, but we still like to cram people inside and have a good time. We pull out the kitchen table and put in the leaf and pull out some extra chairs. We have to carefully squeeze everyone in, but as soon as they're sitting, everyone can relax and enjoy dinner. Until someone has to use the bathroom, then it's musical chairs.

| Cozy dinners here! |
Thankfully we have the backyard for the summer...but still just one bathroom. Maybe we should rent a porta-potty for the summer?
 |
| Lots of room to circulate. (Yes, it's the same tablecloth!) |
 |
| Plenty of room to sit! |
