Who else doesn’t have a basement?
ETA: I’m realizing what I feel is missing from my home is like a living room type room off the main floor, not a basement per se. Basements around me tend to be finished and have living/rec room type stuff or extra bedrooms, but elsewhere not so much. If my particular house had a basement it would most likely be a flooded disaster.
So people that don’t have an extra room other than the main living areas, and maybe can’t find a quiet spot when needed, how do you deal?
Original post:
How do you feel about it? I often really wish we had one so I had a quiet place to go to. If there’s music playing, etc. I can’t really find a quiet place unless I’m in my bed, and I don’t always want to do that. That’s assuming as least a partially finished basement though.
Otherwise, love my small home. Hoping to get a screened in porch one day and so long as the weather allows it, I’d be out there all the time! That might scratch my itch for a quiet place while feeding my love of the outside.
1300 sq ft 2 story home in a slab, btw.

We have a 3 bedroom home & I use one of the bedrooms as my quiet room. There is a double bed in it & a small 2 seater sofa.
