For those of you who haven’t read about us acquiring the downtown house here in the Arts District of Las Vegas just around the corner from our retail home furnishings store and design center, you should read this before stopping by…

Apparently, this street is very popular with the Zappos crowd and our renter just happens to be one of the “Zapponians.” Today, we had a quick dip in our newly refurbished pool and plan to enjoy it every day till July 1st when we hand over the keys. A lot can happen in a year, and it will be interesting to see if we are tempted enough by the three-minute commute to our offices and this awesome resort backyard to give up our large comfortable home to live in a home with two teeny tiny bathrooms and two pre-teen daughters who would have to share a room right next to ours – heaven forbid!! Part of that idea scares me to death because it would be a major life change and we would have to give up a ton of our “stuff” to make it work. And at the same time, the very same idea excites me and makes me feel lighter. Only time will tell!

We’re not done with this place quite yet, as you’ll see in our next post. Please give me your thoughts about downsizing… especially if you have two teenagers. What are the challenges?
