But we've lived in 3500-square-foot houses and spent summers living on a 38-foot sailboat. I like living small.

I totally agree with this! We have lived in over 3,000 sq ft, 5 bedroom and 4 bathroom home. No thank you and never again. I think ceilings over 10 ft make a house feel cold and institutional but the good news is we all like different things or we'd all live in the same house. Living small frees up important things for me, like maintenance, heating, cooling and taxes. Our home now has less "stuff" and requires less from us but provides good living.
