Us, we be freakin till dawn.

Being over in the empty apartment (except for the furniture what comes with) next door, got me thinking of ways to rearrange things over here. Any of the furniture that comes with can be given back to them, they keep it in storage and put it back in when we move out, or when another apartment needs a replacement, etc.

As I was looking at the original floor plan that I fixed from the really skewed one on their site,
I realised that I still had it wrong.

Here is my original fix.





Here is my again fix, fixing the size of the bedroom, and how the bathroom is laid out,
also the door was totally in the wrong place. Sans furniture except for their TVs.





Here is how our furniture currently is, with a few things left out.
My TV is on the dresser next to the apt tv, J's is on the coffee table by his bed.
There's some boxes on the livingroom side of the wall between the kitchen and livingroom,
and on the door side of J's desk he's got some boxes and stuff.
A bit crowded.






Here is what I'm thinking about changing things to,
which involves ditching the large couch, and the table what J has his computer on,
and getting him a corner desk.



The dresser thing was J's idea, as the dresser has a mirror on it, which I have covered by a stewie poster, as I cannot sleep in a room with mirrors looking at me. He suggested I place it so the back is to the bed, so I can still use it, but it's not looking at me while I sleep. So the dresser is facing the bike in the above idea. It's currently got books and dvds and such on it, but if I can figure out a place to put those, I could possibly also use sewing machine on dresser.

So how did you do this...?

(and why the hell do apartment complexes ALWAYS provide inaccurate floorplans?)

I tried to do this same thing to lay out and design an apartment once, and it was so frustrating. I had pirated some home modeling software and was going to recreate the floorplan in that to do some interior design. It was such a pain in the ass....

Did you measure the hell out of everything?
I got frustrated and gave up...

Eyeballed the hell out of it, measured the beds and stuff in proportion to the rest of the place, walked around and glared at stuff, and drew and fixed and drew and fixed.

The kitchen sink is still too large and too far north, and the hall closet is twice as big as reality because there's an a/c filter on the livingroom side. But I stopped being nitpicky at that point because those two things don't affect furniture.

I'm actually very pleased with it, the current furniture placement is as perspective-accurate as I've ever gotten. So to make the last one I just copied the pieces of furniture from the previous one, and rotated them to fit, to keep from squishing more into it than would work in reality.
