A dear friend of mine told me EVERYTHING you buy must have storage-coffeetable, nightstands, benches, everything. We do store our Christmas things in the attic and so far so good. And our suitcases. We moved from a 3 bedroom ranch in Buffalo NY to a 3 bedroom ranch and had a huge garage sale-but I did take my bedroom set and dining room and sold those here. You will really miss a basement! In our guest room we put floor to ceiling cupboards so that helps (Unless you're a crafter like me!) and add shelves in all the closets for extra storage and split shelves under sinks. Abd definately a better quality ladder to the upstairs-otherwise they are too shakey. Good Luck!
