Down-sizing the dream home

In this morning’s Wall Street Journal, an article indicates that the average size of new homes is falling, in response to an economic frame-of-mind that has people (and builders) re-thinking what they can live without.

Implications: There are some super-sized implications for smaller living spaces. Some of the potential impact: Smaller rooms, smaller furniture, and the expectation that furnishings and appliances will be expected to do more than one thing or satisfy more than one need to earn a place in the space.
