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?

Thanks,
SK

Yeah. There's this thing called a tape measure. You use it to measure
things. Get some blue painter's tape and lay out the shapes of all your
stuff by putting the blue tape on the floor. Then, use your imagination, if
any.

What you could do is get a king size bed with drawers under it. They are a
big room saver.

yours. No problems. three dressers and a chair.

Yeah, but if the OP can't get as far as a tape measure without help, imagine
him/her trying to figure out where to buy graph paper!

Unfortunately, for many people, merely *thinking* seems impossible without
the web. It's a crutch for those who never heard the word "resourceful", and
I think it's pathetic.

One of my favorite posts, from a food newsgroup:

Subject line: Lasagna
Message: Can I make it at home? How?

That's it. No clue as to whether it wanted to make the lasagna noodles, or
the fully assembled dish. No clue as to whether it had ever looked at the
back of a box of lasagna at the store, all of which have recipes.

For that, you need a traffic light at the end of the bed. What if both
people have to go at the same time?

A friend with a townhouse, 2 baths upstairs, a powder room on the
first floor and another one in the basement, had a wife and two
daughters, about 3 and 4 years old.

They decided to buy a bigger house, and the one they picked had 3
bathrooms.

Said the worried 4-year old, "What will we do if we all have to go at
once?"

Well, after all the rigamarole of painter's tape and outline figures,
he's still got to use his imagination? What good is your fancy method
then?

It would of course be wonderful if in life we could draw a few figures
and decide everything. I imagine however, that in the 3D world of the
OP, a few lines on the floor wouldn't be any indication of how much
shoulder room, walking room, etc. would be needed and how airy the
room would be with that furniture. So it would be appropriate to ask
other people for their experience. I mean, if you've heard of
painter's tape, half the rest of the world probably has too.

Personally, if I liked the house otherwise and the king bed turned out
to the too big, I'd get another bed.

If this is not a troll post (and I have my doubts and suspicions) get a
queen bed.

I don't see the problem. Going into a drawing program, and making a
rectangle of the right shape to represent the room, and then smaller
rectangles of the appropriate size to represent the bed, and my guesses
for the sizes of the night stands and small dresser, it looks like there
is plenty of room.

When eyeballing an empty room and trying to visualize your stuff there,
it often seems a lot smaller than it really is. Measure everything and
actually give it a try, in a drawing program, or get some graph paper
and make some cutouts representing the room, furnishings, and people,
and play around. Be sure to do your current apartment, in addition to
the townhome you are considering, to have a comparison.

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.

Getting up and going to the bathroom.

If you do this often, you need a prostate examination. Of course, this may
lead to an irrational fear of disposable vinyl gloves.

I suggest looking for a different house.

Oh come on, the best people are the ones that think the web is just in
their town, "how much is my 1400 sq. ft. rancher worth?" it went on after
that but never said what part of the world it was in.

Hummmm unfortunately....wait before I continue please holster your guns.
This problem is prevalent in the states. I constantly run into commercial
sites that are trying to peddle their wares. Many have what I am actually
looking for but they don't even give a clue on their currency, never mind
where they actually are. A Canadian site will clearly state prices in CDN,
the UK in Pounds, Europe in Euros etc....The web is world wide, it is not
bordered by the Atlantic, Pacific, Canada and Mexico!

Now stop asking questions about your pool filters and BBQs, for heaven's
sake I'm still trying to shovel my way out of the front door!!!
