Thanks, everybody! I'm kind of excited, but this morning at 3 AM I couldn't sleep so I got up and went upstairs and while I was trying to figure out about 6 different projects, I had a mini-little panic attack about the fridge. I just hate that we have to cut out part of the cabinet, and I wonder if it's too big for our small space, and everything seems worse in the dark. You know? Now it's light out and I feel a little better, but I'm not used to spending big chunks of money like that and especially on something that we will have to live with for a long time. And even if this fridge goes eventually, the cabinet is still cut. Lydia, your car? Aw, man. I hope you get it fixed up soon so it's like new again. *thumps DH on the head* Oh, wait, you already DID that! Silly me. And we would have measured if we had had a clue that a new fridge was imminent. The only thing that is keeping Woody from complaining too much about this is- he swore up and down it would fit. I thought not. And, he really liked this fridge more than any other. I could have picked a different one without too much trouble. Although- the drawers- most of the fridges had drawers that didn't have roller slides on them, I hate those drawers that you have tug and shift to get them to slide out, it always feels like you're breaking that brittle plastic. I know this fridge rolls really well, it kept scooting around in the store when I pulled the freezer open, so I don't know if that means it has adjustable feet or not. I think we'll call our salesman BEFORE we cut! Good point. Janie- Roll out shelves? Um, I don't know! OK, I looked at the spec sheet online- 1 slide in shelf. I don't know if it rolls out or not. I have one in this fridge, and honestly, I rarely use that feature. As for paying, we'll pay it off at the end of this year, not waiting the full year. We really don't like to owe anyone money, but since it's interest free, it's hard to pass up. We'll let our money make a dab for about 6 more months. Then lose the debt! We did that on our countertops too, got the extra 10% off and the interest-free plan by using their card, which we've never used since. That was Home Depot. Enjoy your book, Jodi! It'll make you want to go back, I guarantee it! Moni, furniture is way more fun than rope! The beauty of this spontaneous purchase is that Woody didn't have time to get worried about it or freak out. If we plan to go spend money, it makes him grumpy. This worked out good, but he's kind of grumpy today. I think he's in shock, too. lol

I can imagine some scenarios in which someone would want to create what is essentially a bedsitter. An adult living with parents or other relatives or renting a room in a private home might like a place to retreat in privacy even though it isn't bed time. If you are dating someone but not intimate or if you have a couple of platonic friends over you might want a place to sit and hang out that doesn't involve lounging on the bed. Or if you need some time to yourself and have an aversion to sitting on a bed while fully clothed in the middle of the day. Beds aren't actually that comfortable for anything other than sleep and romance.

To me, the floorpan seems to make sense as it is. You could extend the bath slightly into the bedroom to give you a longer countertop space, about where the wall of bedroom2 runs, but you need to know if that works with your bedroom furniture. You could also slide the shower over to the back part of your closet, accessed from the shorter end, to slide to toilet down and have more countertop. It depends on your priorities.

It would be best if you got rid of them; they're not flattering or in this room. I don't know how you explain it to your husband, but you should sell them or throw them away. Buy a small low coach instead, and I suggest something lighter. If the walls and furniture are of a similar color, everything feels more spacious and decluttered. This picture looks challenging and not relaxing. You could buy an excellent stylish coach on https://www.sleepunderground.com/ or sites like that. You can also add some mirrors to the space, making the room look more spacious. Don't forget to post the results!
