I grew up in a two bedroom, one bath house too - but I was the STEP sister. My older
s-sister had the bedroom, my s-brother slept on the pull out couch and I slept on a rollaway bed we kept in the hall and pulled out into the living rooom each night. There was a little built in closet (about 2 ft wide, 2 ft deep, by 5 ft high) and 3 built in drawers in the hall. When my sister was at home, my brother got those for his things (I have no clue where my things were kept - I was 5 years old). About 2 years after I got there, my sister moved out and my brother got the bedroom and I got the hall closet and drawers, where I stayed until my brother went to college - I was 13, and then I got the bedroom - but had to let him sleep in there when he came home!!!

It's amazing, we are all so used to more space now! Our current home is only 1200 sq. ft., but we only had one daughter. It has 3 bedrooms though. A few years ago, Gary built on a den, office, and large closet onto the back of the house.
