Regarding the square footage, as the bathroom is shared space across a hallway, I was left wondering if the size should be included. Also if the hallway would then have to be included. Since both the hallway and bathroom are small and wouldn't put my apartment over the size limit, and that I don't have design control over it, I did not include it.

The sectional is vintage and was bought from craigslist! I have only replaced the foam in the cushions. Definitely suitcases under the couch, as well as under the bed and on top of the expedit shelving. You would expect really romantic things in them probably, but the ones under the couch are filled with tools and electrical cords!

I was worried about kicking the table at the end of the bed, and put things on it sparingly. But I am much more of an upper body flailer, and have even kept glass of water at the end of the bed with no ill effect! The table was hand built to fit somewhere else at some other point in time, but fits exactly over the bed!

The shared bathroom thing is really not a problem. It is crazy how rarely we run into each other and it keeps rent low!

Thanks everyone! The apartment is in a 100+ year old house, and as such has been renovated lots of time. The upstairs has been turned into two apartments, but we share a common bathroom in the hallway. This was not included in the square feet, nor in a photos. The bed is the Hemnes four poster from ikea. It has been great. I have only had to trim down the posts once, when I lived in a small basement suite.
Its funny how different the feel of place can be from the photos taken of it. I decided on the tighter perspectives in 4 and 5 as I believe it is a more accurate representation of what your eye focuses on while in the space. Although I do agree more broader perspectives would have been great!
