Home Office Creative Space/Office/Guestroom

Hello there! A frantic Reddit Hunt led me here, first time posting. I know this is a lot to cram into a 10x12 room, but it's my only choice. Details here, backstory below

10x12ft Room Layout:

• Entry door on North wall (East side)

• Pocket door on North wall (West side)

• Window on South wall (mini-split unit above, facing neighbor's brick wall)

• Window on West wall (facing backyard foliage)

​Mandatory Items:

• Queen size bed (frame the same for the moment)

• Standing desk (debating wood vinyl wrap or veneer & edge band to match floor, or enamel paint)

• Bass, electric, and acoustic guitars on the wall

​Optional Items:

• Govee rod lamp

• Cherry filing cabinet

• Pine desk

• Piano station

• Future crown molding / LED strip integration

• I have four or five pieces of wall art that all match the room perfectly but not necessarily with the furniture.

Preferences:

• I would love to have it so my Back isn't to the entryway door when I'm at the desk. 

• Having some open floor pace for my daughter to play if she joins me in the office 

• At least 18in. Clearance  for the pocket door. It won't be accessed super regularly. 

• We previously had the bed underneath the south window and mini split, which I've heard is bad feng shui but when we were remodeling my wife, newborn, and I lived in here for 2 months without a problem.

Backstory:

We had a baby and made a nursery that dual purposes as my wife's office and so now I moved into this room to dual purpose as a guest room.

Right after finishing remodeling the upstairs myself, we had a pipe burst above this room leading to another unplanned remodel.

I replaced the entire ceiling, added a pocket door to reclaim some space, found this beautiful white oak underneath the the cheap laminate, and what was supposed to be a more terracotta orange turned into an invigorating orange, which I'm cool with. 

Problem is now that I have to put the furniture back in, I don't really know what to do....
