whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie

I like my first idea best as far as use of space. I know people say not to put toilets on an outside wall. We had one in our last house in Iowa, but we had 2X6 construction. I don't know how high your window is, but I'm guessing the toilet would fit under there. The shower would be 5 feet long or shorter if you want a wider space to get to the toilet. (kind of tight the way I have drawn). You could do a 5 and half foot long shower and do an angled door at the left end to allow room between the shower and toilet. The vanity would be about 7 feet long, unless you do a 60 inch vanity with a linen cabinet at the door. I would reverse entry door swing if you do that.. The second top right could work and you would still have a small closet. The bottom left plan would require waterproofing your front window. Hopefully someone will give you other ideas. The bottom right plan is bigger, but no closet. Each square equals 1 foot.

I like your bedside tables but they are too big for the current location. They feel too visually tight and the one at the door overlaps the door frame - against the visual rules, looks weird. I agree with DM. It looks to me that the wall to place the front of the bed is the one opposite the closet/bathroom door wall. I cannot tell if you have enough room at the end of the bed to do this. It need not be a full wall of solid fabric draperies. It could be translucent fabric. Check out The Shade Store or Smith & Noble Draperies. Or there is always IDEA for a really cheap solution. It's ok if you see the door through the draperies. That should do the trick to pull the room together.

@bluemarble thank you! “Crazy market” is the word that describes the situation, we lost on 4 offers to other bidders who were buying cash, over the asking price, waiving appraisal (or all of the above). When this house came along on a Sunday morning, we had our offer ready, our agent requesting the 1st appointment, and me looking at it via facetime, and finally got it 😉. Below are the MBR pictures of the new house; there is a wall-mounted wood headboard along with some “farmhouse word art” throughout the house. I intend to live with it, while I figure out the new spaces. So, my immediate need is the foundation/ box spring, because I will take the mattress but not my current bed frame/ boxspring (that needs to be replaced). Also, I will need your comments on how to decorate this space with my existing pieces (from any of the rooms) and maybe adding new night tables. <EDITED> HI All, @bluemarble @aprilneverends @maifleur03 @K Ber @User @rmsaustin in case you want to help me with my new post, here is the link: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6140949/please-help-with-bed-frame-to-go-with-wall-mounted-headboard-4-pics
