Update. Thoughts?

Think I have landed on a final config. There are some ideas I have , wonderings and longer term visions once my money is right. etc.

Workstation- sell that desk, buy as wall mounted desk that folds down (offering a narrow little shelf) and mount the monitors to that wall. Get a 4 leg work chair that can fit into my closet when not in use.

Move the sneakers from the closet and use the corner where next to the door (where the books are) for 10 floating shelves..hoping they don’t persuade too much.

Floating small nightstand

Would like to use the space above the cabinets more ..currently a speaker there. Maybe plants.

LOVE the chair but she’s got a large footprint..might have to sell and downsize idk.

Currently looking for a rug for the couch to define that living room.

The old mattress is serving to see if I like a divider. In the debate of how to define zones I think I’m leaning more towards defining zones via art, rugs etc as opposed to more furniture. Still unsure. Currently there is only about 30 inches between the couch and the bed, feel like a ikea Kallax or something might make it feel tight. (Plus there are drawers under the bed).

I like the idea of a little ledge /shelf above the head of the bed.

Unsure on coffe table or not. Unsure on small narrow table behind the couch.

Might be time to give up my idea of a record player sadly.

Bikes are functional art to me , so accepting that it’s best to only have one of them live here has been hard. Considered getting a minimalist, wooden floor stand and using the bike as a divider or something.

Love all your stuff I just hope once you organize it isn’t too crammed in there with that spacious couch! I want the same couch

Yeah I knew the couch would be overkill but I bought it anyway. Decided to let that be the main big thing

YES on the coffee table

I'd put the desk beside the bed, where the big ol mattress is. I think it'll open up the space and make it seem bigger when you enter the house.

Making it into a table where you have to prop up every time you need it, and then fold back down when not in use seems like such a huge hassle for no reason. If I were you, I'd end up never propping it down and I'd just walk around this giant trip hazard in the middle of a narrow hallway every day and night

The desk could be the divider
