We almost decided to buy this townhome but I am giving second thoughts
because the Master bedroom is very small. We have a King Bed, 2 night
stands and a small dresser in our rental apartment. I am wondering how
I can fit all of this in a 14 X 12 room.

In 14 X 12 room there is a window on one of the shorter walls and
there are bath & Walk in closet on the opp side wall. I cannot imagine
how i can fit in all the furniture and still leave room for traffic
flow.

Any ideas?

What my mother did, 50 years ago and again 25 years ago, and again 15
years ago, is make a diagram** of the room and measure off the
furniture on it, to scale. She didn't use graph paper and I don't
think you need it. They even sell kits now with pr-emade paper
outlines of furntiure, but that I think is mostly for when you haven't
the bought the furniture yet, because if you have it already, you want
to use the exact correct dimensions.

**Diagram is too strong a word. Almost all the rooms I have had have
been rectangles. You get one side in the right proportion to the
adjoining side, and you're done.

The last time she moved, when she was about 78, she forgot to check if
the ceiling was high enough for the breakfront, WHERE the breakfront
was going to go. Which was right under a heating duct, covered in
sheetrock of course. Fortunately, she still had 2 inches of
clearance. Normallly of course there was about 14.

Thanks,
