Room to expand

Our new apartment has 800 square feet of space. (That's 75 square meters for the non-Americans) This is the largest living space Andrew and I have ever shared and it more than doubles the amount of space we have right now. We're a bit giddy at the prospect. Last week, Andrew said, excitedly, "We can have a full-sized trash can in the bathroom at the new place." This is true, because right now we use a a stainless steel ice bucket as a trash can; it is precisely large enough to hold one bottle of wine, which make it a tiny, slim trash can. Personally, I am more excited about the idea of having a couch. In this house, we only had enough room for a love seat. This meant we couldn't both sit on the couch along with the dog, and neither of us could stretch out our full length on the love seat.

So, any suggestions? What would you do if your living space suddenly doubled?

that's a very personal thing! I guess whatever your dreams are that might need a little space?

What about a house plant of monumental proportions - a large plant pot on the floor and a plant with the potential to reach the ceiling.
