My new place has all of these things well within 1 mile - and the walk is on nice shady sidewalked residential streets. I love not being chained to the car!

Simply amazing, I love it.

I'm in love. Your drafting table/flat file area is fantastic, the lofted bedroom, the exposed timbers. *sigh*

In my area, bargaining when you meet to sell something is very bad form indeed. The only ways I could see it being acceptable are if:
1) the ad states 'or best offer' or 'price negotiable'
2) the item is not as described or pictured
3) the buyer made it clear they were only coming to look at the item, not to buy it at the advertised price

I've bought and sold many things on CL (love it!) and only ever haggled over email.

I'm no interior designer, but I love playing with google sketchup and I've lived in tiny spaces before. Here's what I'd do:

With this setup it would work to have a small desk near the door to double as your TV or you could put a desk in the closet. I'd personally keep the closet for storage though.

A couple more views!

I love furniture and accessories (though the ones in this post seem pretty normal to me.)

I have a camel saddle in my bedroom with a full length mirror propped up on it (people never know what it is) and some antique suitcases as a bedside table. Use whatever you have that works, I say.

This is my favorite house tour by far. I am in love. When can I move in?!

The tool chest made my heart flutter. So beautiful!
