Do you have a TV? If, not how about this layout:

I change my layout every year, I think this makes me feel good and energetic! Kind of trouble too, but...
If not not a rental, bed nook in the closet near the bathroom is the best! But it'll take some real work changing walls. Good luck with your space, i love the floor!

@lunalu: buckwheat is a fruit (achene) AND a whole grain.

@anulla: whole grain doesn´t mean "not crushed grain". Couscous (semolina) and polenta (corn) are in!

Whole grain includes "cereal grains that consist of the intact and unrefined, ground, cracked or flaked fruit of the grains whose principal components -- the starchy endosperm, germ and bran -- are present in the same relative proportions as they exist in the intact grain" in US FDA´s definition.

The refining process removes some of the bran and germ from the grain, resulting in a loss of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals in common refined non-whole grain products as white rice, white flour, white bread and regular pasta (FDA again).

Any food can be good or bad. Even bacon can be healthy if not a daily indulgence, in right amount and preparation; even kamut or triticale can be bad for someone with celiac disease. It´s all about measure, balance and personal conditions.
