The size (and importance) of closets in U.S. homes today really shows how obsessed with clothes and shoes we've become as a society. I have a feeling the house we live in now was built by an affluent family because of some its features, but the bedroom closets are still very modest by current standards, even though there is a tremendous amount of storage elsewhere.<br />Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-1181688724091374752016-10-26T10:54:17.950-05:002016-10-26T10:54:17.950-05:00It was such an exciting evolution in modern archit...It was such an exciting evolution in modern architecture, you can definitely see the connection.

The house sure seems more modern than the 1930s. Looks quite roomy, unlike most houses in Florida.<br />Sure would be nice to own a house with a lot of space, attic, basement or not.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
