The prior suggestions are good...especially reworking the living/dining areas to give better use of space. The Lantana is really frustrating. Not enough seating in the "living room" area since the TV has to be on the long wall next to the sliding glass doors. It's difficult to put more than one sofa and one chair or loveseat in the space. I always thought "if they had just added two feet across the whole back of the house...." Now I find that is currently an option, but it wasn't last year when we bought. It seems there are lots more options now that buyers aren't standing in line.
We have pretty much solved the storage dilemma. All the closets have been reworked to get rid of the wire shelving and put in more shelves along each side with hanging space in the middle. My husband built a queen size platform bed for the guest room. The top hinges up with gas rods. It opens with the mattress in place to provide 30 cubic feet of storage for whatever won't fit elsewhere.
