Sorry about the missing windows in my plans - we left them off because we are undecided about placement. There is one now above the tub that needs to be replaced, and we also want to add one in the toilet area. Chisue, we know moving windows isn't cheap. But given what we expect to spend on this we want to make the space work right. The exterior is siding which is also badly in need of replacement. Everything is 30 years old. Right now the balcony is a wasted space. We need storage not a sitting area, or office/library space. There are 2 other bedrooms - one is on the other side of the master bath - 10 x 12 or so. The other is on the front side of the house and is much larger. On my proposed plan with the angles that everyone seems to hate, the bathroom door,entry door and closet doors were all in the same corner. I thought that was good to allow someone to get ready for work without disturbing the other sleeper. Funny thing is that I keep hearing/reading that angled walls create wasted space, but in this case they seem to work pretty well - a lot better IMO than the floating bed idea with the "hallway" between the bed and closets (which were both drawn on the balcony wall with separate entrances. There may be some wasted space, but it sure seems to make the remaining space more functional.

I did try various looks for the curtains, lowered the pull backs, raised them, allowed them to just hang; the way they are now is was what looked okay to me. As the room evolves, these ones may get swapped out; for now they'll be fine. I also tried a heavier white curtain with white dots in the fabric which was too much as well as a valance that was totally hideous. Ohmygosh, the table is incredibly useful!!! I'm a huge fan of small, versatile pieces of furniture like tables and benches that can easily be moved around if need be, so this one was ideal. Many tables like this have a bottom shelf which I'm much happier without.

thanks for your help. I do have to leave the tv where it is because it's all wired through the wall and we really like it there since its not visible as soon as you walk through the front door and we can watch it from the kitchen. I'm flipflopppng between leather and fabric for couches, I have three young kids but they never have food in the living room. I'm looking for couches that are dark grey....I wanted to go with red originally but thought I may get sick of it after a year.

I would not want my back to the FP either. I would look for smaller scale pieces. Nothing puffy. You also may not have the space for reclining pieces. You have a lot of knickknacks between the green piece and the white book shelf. I would cull your collection. I would consider removing some of the shelves in the built in to accommodate the TV. 2 chairs and a table in front of FP. Sofa facing built ins if TV is there and 2 chairs by the windows. All chairs should be swivel. Please draw a floor plan to scale on graph paper marking all windows, doors, FP etc Then post it here in comments make sure it is dark enough so that we can read the measurements
