Well, Bob, our two things are in part in response to the problem of not enough room (and technically not enough money). Much of the room in our house has been claimed in some way or another. We don't actually have any real good storage areas as it turns out, but that's good in that we can't stockpile (and hoard) a lot of stuff. The one area that we've been using for storage, we're finally converting into proper use, and we'd always intended to do so. Probably the only reason we even have a place in the house for the pinball is a friend offered to give us a pinball machine knowing that we were house hunting, and that - by default basically - claimed that corner of the rec room when we moved in.
