Home Sweet Home... before the storm... take 2

Not sure why this didn't post with anything so I guess I'll have to go through the grand tour again.

When you first walk into the apartment - straight ahead is the dining room with patio doors leading out to a fairly large balcony.

There is a large area just oustide the patio doors that I'm hoping to set up a table and chairs. The patio extends past the doors from the living room and up to the bedroom.

Moving clockwise arount the apartment, next to the dining room is the living room. It's goning to be a tight fight for my furniture and the shape is a little awkward....

Next is the bedroom aka the "hobby/craft" room. As the largest room in the house it will need to house my extensive craft supply collection.

The bathroom is made up of two rooms - the first hold the vanity and the second a soaker tub (YES!) and toilet.

Next to the bathroom is a storage close under the stairs that lead up to the loft. the stairs are "part" of the living room and ar at an angle which contributes to that awkardness I mentioned earlier. Half way up the stairs is a large ledge...not easy to access (over waist high when standing on landing) but large enought that I need to come up with something to do with this... any suggestions?

The loft area is a pretty good size and I'm going to use this for my bedroom (love the bed, heh?) There is another patio door off the bedroom leading to a second balcony. Pretty nice, huh? this one is screaming for a hammock or lounger, I'm thinking.

this is the view looking down from the loft - kind of get a feel for the lay of the main floor.

The kitchen is right next to the stair and sort of looks onto the dining room. It is definitely not open concept but it's functional. Besides... you all know how much I love to cook so I'm sure this won't be an issue at all.

And that brings us back to the entrance. Right off the entrance is a set of close doors that open up to the insuite laundry. Definite bonus! So that's the grand tour... Melanie
