My house is not much larger than a decent size urban apartment (we downsized when the last child left the nest) and face some of the same space problem. Our solution was to stop buying DVDs and to not buy video games and other space-occupying electronic gadgets. Of course, since I rarely watch videos and never play video games, much preferring to read and use my imagination to create the scenes (something that is easy if the author is good), makes such devices unneeded and helps free up space. But then the 2 dogs and the cat, as well as my business equipment and my wife's art studio do cramp the space a bit. But give me books any day over videos and video games.
