What you have accomplished so far, is not bad.

Not knowing what scale you have uploaded (1/4 inch or otherwise), as a designer, I would need to understand proportions. Your chairs look as big as your round side table. I can't imagine that is the case.

Don't let that AC unit or your windows deter you from moving or adding additional seating space! Depending on the dimensions of the windows, you might be able to add an air sleeper sofa there.

That window can, and maybe should be, be your focal point. The round side table needs company. I'm not really sure what purpose it serves in this layout.

Is everything proportional here? If not, I would be happy to show you how to lay this room out to maximize your best possible sleeping and seating arrangements. We can do it online at 1/4 inch scale. You just have to do some measuring for me and let me know where the pressurized walls are exactly located.

It's what we do! Hope to hear from you.

I love that you didn't cover the brick wall and your use of space is wonderful. One thing to consider with art, that in smaller spaces one larger piece of art can make a space look bigger or a bunch of tiny pieces of art placed together to create the illusion of a larger piece. Great job!

My Dad has a small garden behind his house for growing vegetables, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc. He uses coffee grounds and the remains of fresh fish he gets at the grocery.

This may sound gross but he works the fish heads into the dirt in his small garden. 3 feet x 30 feet. His tomato plants grow as tall or taller than me in a matter of weeks and I am almost 6 feet tall. I have tried it at home as well and it works.
There is no smell either!

I posted for a different article a while back about some sofas I had purchased online from a company in North Carolina for less than $700 to fit in a small spaces. I love them. I have since purchased the additional sleep sofa convertible for $200. It's not the normal pull-out bed that is so uncomfortable it probably wouldn't pass our Consumer Product Safety Commission codes were the foam mattress allows the bars underneath to bruise your shoulders while you sleep? It is an air sleep system that is a double mattress that expands in minutes to twenty inches. It's amazing. Check it out at http://www.simplicitysofas.com if you are looking for a truly comfortable sleeper sofa at an incredible price. You might have trouble selecting from the fabric though. I think they have 50 fabrics!

I have purchased from an online manufacturer called simplicity sofas. You can see their product here: http://www.simplicitysofas.com

They have apartment size high-quality sofas, not IKEA quality. They also have full size living room furniture too. I buy the groups for my condos. The sets arrive in boxes so you can easily get them up stairs or elevators. I assembled the sofa in 10 minutes!! No tools needed. And the quality is awesome. It is all MADE IN THE USA too!
