Bedroom Ideas

I'm getting close to the final move, and by planning to locate my workspace on the first floor, I'm starting to realize how empty my bedroom seems. What on earth will I do with all this new found space?

The window faces south. The photos show the previous occupant's furnishings. As you can see, I underestimated the window size and placement in my schematic, since the photo shows a twin-sized bed fitting snugly between window and wall. Thus, I will probably rotate my bed to the western wall, or place it at a 45 degree angle, in order to place the bed-stands on either side.

Also, I intend to put a dresser or bench of some sort under the window, which will likely become Cricket & Oliver's favorite snoozing spot. Other ideas?

Living Room Ideas

i've already started to think about moving in a couple weeks, and discovered this fun room-planner software online (much more fun than statistics homework.) So, here is my first attempt to design my new living room layout. In this version, I chose to put my home office in the same room, rather than put it in my bedroom. If I end up living alone, rather than with a roommate, I'll create an office/guest bedroom upstairs. For the time being, though, I think the income and company that a roommate can offer is better.

Any feedback or suggestions?

Btw - The front door is the rectangle with the yellow doormat in front of it, and it opens directly into the stairway (which is cut out here). The only window in this room is on the front wall (indicated by plants on either side. It is north-east facing, and goes all the way to the floor. The other two rectangles represent doorways to the kitchen and to the under-steps storage closet. I've also posted a photograph of the previous owner's furnishings so you can get an idea of the space. The detached leg is not included. :)
