I know I could never do it, especially with children. I need for each of us to have our own designated spaced. If we were empty-nesters, I don't even think I could do it then. Once upon a time we lived in a 700sq foot home and my husband was always in the living room. I could either go in the kitchen/dining, bedroom or bathroom for my space. I turned one of our closets in to a crafting room just so I could "shut a door" and call it mine! That was also 18+ years ago and I don't think I could ever sit in a closet while doing something crafty, much less think. To have a tiny home where we all could see one another, listen to them smacking their gum, keyboard clicks or controller movements on the xbox---no thank you!! Some are called to live that way, but I like my space!
