Pretty, but not helping. Assume I cannot afford to spend money on new furniture and also that I really only care to have the following items (already owned) in my bedroom: - bed - dresser - lamp (well OK, I actually don't have a lamp) - fold-up bedside "stand"/table It would work, right? I'm seeing a house tomorrow that I want to buy. Because it's gorgeous and it's in a great location and in many ways has EVERYTHING in its favor - except the bedrooms, which come in at 11x12, 14x8, and some other even-smaller thing. But consider: I will be living alone, do not anticipate roommates or co-habitating, and no kids or renters in foreseeable future. I realize I'm trying to force a favorable reaction to the bedroom size without even seeing the house. But GOT DAMN it's got everything I want. Except maybe for tiny, iddle-widdle beddywooms.
Wearing a more serious face (and knowing you're actually buying it - wait what?) consider: How much time do you plan to spend in your bedroom? Because once you have a whole, unshared house, a great way to use a bedroom is for sleeping and sexing and little else, so you need almost nothing in there. Further, if you have three bedrooms and don't plan on renting any of them out, you have a bedroom, an office and a walk in closet and the the rest of the house is your playground. Choose the big room. Put the bed in it. Middle for your office. Little for clothes. Spread out. Those photos look amazing by the way.
Super excited. I haven't even seen the place but it has everything I want, great location, great features, great price. I talked on Hubski a bit ago about my mom pressuring me to buy a house and I was just like "she's nuts." However I've had a yearish to rest on it and get my finances more straightened out - which I have, though still in the process, but incredibly rewarding - and I really do want this. I want my own place, I don't want to move every year anymore (though really, did I ever? Moving' snot fun) and I want the freedom of living alone slash with various animals. (Talk me out of getting a dog, everyone, please. I know it's not a good idea. I probably won't. But feel free to help convince me.) This is only the sixth house I'll go see so it would be a little crazy but it has so much and the price is perfect. I want this so bad. and I have to shout out to my parents and thank them for letting me live at their house on super reduced rent for the past four months (and until I do buy a house) for helping me get here. And also, start appreciating my job a fuck more. I'm twerkin' on it. I'm incredibly lucky to be where I am right now in 2015: the writing's going great, the job loves me, I'm trying - and going to - buy my own fuckin' house. Need to remember that.
My room in Calgary was about the same size as yours. I had a queen bed in the top right corner, a small-ish desk in the top left and the dresser in the bottom left. I think that as long as you can fit the bed in one of the corners, the rest will fit. I mean, you can fit the long side of the bed and the dresser and it will fit in the short side of the room (6' + 4.5' = 10.5'). How much room do you really need?
Thanks, that's helpful. I am going to check out where the closet and window(s) and door are located tomorrow and I hope that helps too. On paper, it looks like enough space. Since I will have the whole house I should have plenty of room to fit a desk, I figure.
