So, for the past nine years, January has been house-hunting month for my family. Every year my parents go out and look at what the market has to offer and see if there's anything around that doesn't completely blow for what we can afford. Anyway, the first day my parents go out house-hunting, they find a place they love and sign the gosh darn contract. Now, this place is "perfect" except for one tiny detail: the bedrooms.

The bedroom I have currently is 11x13 and I'm seriously cramped in it. I only have seven pieces of furniture and they're all necessary - in fact, they're not enough. My closet's pretty full and I even have a giant cabinet full of crap lining the hallway and boxes upon boxes shoved in the garage because I just don't have the room for any of it. In this new house, the largest bedroom aside from the master is 10x11 - a good deal smaller than what I'm already in.

Here's a really crappy picture to show what I mean:

The house itself is only 350 square feet larger than our apartment and there are only three bedrooms. The living area we have, while spotlessly clean, is already jam-packed full of furniture - the 350 extra square feet aren't going to help that much (since the kitchen's about twice the size of what we have, and there's an extra bathroom). Downstairs, we have two whole garages packed ceiling high with crap we can't fit in our apartment as it is.

So... just what the h-e-l-l-o operator am I going to do? Moving out isn't an option for me at the moment, and I can't go any smaller than what I already have and be able to live in it. My parents are aware of this, and they've been trying to think of a solution, but aside from buying me all new furniture (we're talking dresser, bookcase, bed frame, mattress & boxspring, nightstand, and desk) to fit this room - which would cost us money we don't have - there's been nothing that could work.

Any suggestions? I'm kind of desperate.
