With both options we still have room for a 2' stretch to side (den/bed 2/living/lanai)... What do you think Gillies? Put the space into the garage and den OR give the space over to our Gillie friends to PARTY! What say you Gillies?
Well, IMHO this is an easy decision...I would vote for giving it over to your loving neighbors to party.

Seriously though, I would follow Hotrod's example and stretch anywhere and everywhere you can insofar as your budget allows. I stretched the lanai 2' initially and wish I had done another 2' just for the room. Personally I am satisfied with the size of the MBR so I'm not sure about the back. I would definitely stretch the garage if you have a large vehicle. We have a Ford Expedition and it barely fits into the garage. But, I still vote for the party space!!!
