I don't like to think of all that empty space sitting there in the dark when I'm upstairs tucked into bed with a good book and a nice glass of Aussie red. Definitely not "cozy". However, we are devotees of his and her bathrooms - very smart way to maintain peace and contentment in a house. It's always a balancing act of enough/too much space in a house, isn't it? She's earned her house and I wish her and her hubby well!<BR/><BR/>I just wish she'd grow some compassion for all those poor little critters who are skinned alive so she can wear their pelts.
