holy crap look at all those windows! This looks awesome, Sam
Soooo many windows. Quite a few of them have issues in one way or another, but it was a huge attraction for me, the sheer amount of natural light coming in.Â
Which is why we didnât notice the power was off at first....

Wait, quick concern: you said you had western light through the windows. I'm a bit worried that the way your couch is now you'll get the sun in your eyes a lot before sunset/during sunset (I also have West facing light in my tiny ass living area)
Itâs a concern, but honestly I a) usually sit sideways on the sofa and b) probably wonât be looking directly out -- and after all thatâs what blinds are for :DÂ

Why is the kitchen terrible?
Itâs just kind of a poky hallway with super old cabinets and appliances. I love open-plan kitchens; my plot is to knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room, then extend the counter out into the dining room to make a breakfast bar.Â

thats a significant amount of counter space for a kitchen that size
Itâs way less than it looks -- the counters arenât to scale and are shallow enough that it makes the room seem bigger. The kitchen is 8â˛x10Ⲡbut the counters only go about 6Ⲡon the sink side (minus the sink) and between four and six on the stove side because of the fridge and pantry. Subtract the stove and it starts shrinking fast. Â
Itâs not nothing, for sure, and for Chicago itâs way more than most. But itâs not the vast expanse of space it looks like :DÂ Â

You and your trampoline condo.
Yes. Every service is trampoline. Walls, floor, counters. All bouncy. BOUNCE CONDO.Â

Please tell me you're tucking a comfy chair & tall-skinny-floor-lamp into the book nook, next to the structural column & backing up on the bookshelf facing the hallway of hello?
Eventually! I might move the armchair over there, but Iâm not sure it will fit, itâs kind of a bulky armchair.Â

Ok, what's that free room planner? I've been hand drawing my new room and planning where to put shit, that online tool would be handy AF!

Oooo that looks so nice! Fingers crossed for you! (Also, what program are you using for design, because I'm getting tired of graph paper cutouts XD)
Roomsketcher.com! Itâs reasonably intuitive, and itâs not great at precision but you CAN change the dimensions of nearly anything, including the thickness of walls and the depth/length of shelves, that kind of thing.Â
