I don't want a house to be completely divided into tiny rooms. I also don't like a house that's built like a warehouse. I'm about some balance. Bigger rooms (but I don't want/need giant rooms either), bigger doors or openings, maybe French style and/or large pocket doors or in same cases, just a larger opening with no door. I would like a good sized bathroom. It does suck if the master bath is so small that you've got to move to shut the door, or the door just barely clears the toilet. It also sucks if you're bouncing your elbows off of the walls/door/curtain in the shower.

It would be nice to have a master bath with a large tub (for the missus) a largish shower (no bumping into the door or walls) and enough space for 2 adults to be moving around without bumping into each other (dual vanities included).

I was talking to a plumber yesterday that is building his home in the country. His wife kept telling him "the house isn't big enough" and he kept telling her "then you've got a problem, because I'm not making it any bigger than 40'x100'." On top of the 4000sqft footprint, it's got a loft that I think he said is half of the size of the main floor (I think he said 40'x50'). Apparently, once he got the floor poured and laid out, his wife went and realized that she had more than enough room, and maybe actually a bit too much.
