Hi Cloud, ya I agree that we are very hard done, by the narrow living room and I felt that the MBR is way too small too... I have decided to hack the common room beside the living room to make it bigger. But I am only doing this because, its only me and my wife now, no kids yet... So from having 3 rooms, i would only have 2 rooms left, but I making tat space into a cosy corner and I think it will be worth it... but to each their own...
