apartment talk

So this is the floor plan [minus the den if it's not available] for the apartment that babe and I will hopefully be moving into. One bedroom, okay size, carpet throughout, decent kitchen. The bathroom is kinda ugly [I believe the tub is pink and the tile is light blue] but that's not a big deal. My problem is with the bedroom. The closets take up one whole wall and on the opposite wall there's a heater. I can't remember if it takes up the whole wall or not I just remember that it was in the way. That's two walls that we can't put the bed on. I also have two dressers that I planned on bringing with me [I'll post pictures of those at a later date - I repainted them and put new knobs on them]. I got bored the other night and did some placement mock-ups in paint [lol I don't have a good photo editor]. I want a square table for the dining area but I can't find a nice one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I would actually like to build my own - it seems like a fairly simple undertaking for what I want. I searched craigslist and didn't find anything to promising. For now I'm thinking about the Ingo table [painted white] from Ikea. If we can get a move-in date sometime soon, I'll go down there and we can visit thrift stores and whatnot to see what they have. I went to an Amish flea market in New Jersey recently and they had this black sofa and loveseat combo for $500 [and I probably could have talked the price down some more]. I wish I could have snatched it up but it's probably gone by now. I'm not liking the living room mock-up. I don't like that the front door leads straight into the room. I would like to put some type of divider a few feet across from the door to create a bit of separation between the front door and computer desk. I would also like to do that to break up the living room/dining area, maybe with the Expedit bookcase or a sofa table. This is getting a little ramble-y. I think individual posts for each room are in order. Hurrah!
