Being lazy, I tend to let things stand where they are. I did do a big rearrangement/switcharound of the second floor a couple of years ago, to turn what used to be my husband's den into something resembling a guest bedroom. That left the third, mostly unused "bedroom" as a jumbled stash/mess. Its day is coming, however...as is the day of my entire house/garage/yard; I'm downsizing from a two-story, three bedroom, one bath home to, basically, homelessness (for a bit). This house is WAY too much for me on my own, so I know exactly what you mean by a too-big home overwhelming you. And, as I said, I'm lazy.
My aim is a teensy tiny apartment in Paris for a few years (living *very* frugally), then back here to the States to find an agreeable location and a *little* house just my size. I figure, after three years in a 12 m2 garret, a one-bedroom house with separate kitchen and bathroom will seem like a palace.
