Some of my favourite albums were recorded in barns. Not renovated barns.. actual barns.. probably with livestock still inside. Others still were recorded in people's houses.. probably your regular, run of the mill, 15x20 rooms, 8 foot ceiling'd houses. They sound great.

I think its better not to fret about the space you have.. unless that is you're recording in a 5x5 tin box. If you want to make a great sounding record, you can. You might have to work harder and be more creative, but it is possible.
