Here we go again! Half the family size, twice the drywall. But, has anyone noticed

furniture?  Sofas and chairs, they're so bulky.  And not only that, but a furnishing that is space friendly, is ALOT more expensive.  Saw a bulk-free sofa - and YES leather, because it lasts; very basic looking.  They wanted $8,000.00 - yes, 8 grand for it.  Bell no, don't have that kind of money - nor a whole lot of floor space.  Anyway, did find a space-friendly sofa for less than $1,500.00...only because the Lord was looking out for me, and knew the piece i had was more than ready for the curb.  Wasn't leather, just cloth, but oh well.

Strange, because five years ago, my late husband and i, bought two tall-man's leather recliners.  Oh yeah, bulky as all get out.  BOTH were less than $2,000.  We had  purchased them at a reputable furniture store - not at one of those cheapo places. 

Also, the need for extra drywall is because of electronics.  Especially, nowadays.  One 'puter and workspace, per household, isn't going to do.  Back in the day, when kids did their homework, they had a book, pen and paper tablet.  Very portable.  No mouse, no battery charger/extra charger packs, no printer, no wires.

Co-worker and her husband bought a house right before covid.  Now they realize, they should have bought a bigger place for themselves and their three young children.  With working and schooling from home - and the extra space needed to review and store the paperwork.  

Oh, just use the kitchen table.  Uhm-hmm... and you wonder how stuff gets lost?

Welcome to the real world.
