You may also want to consider a screen or pass-through bookcase to visually divide the "bedroom" area from the living area. I like your table and platform bed ideas. Consider whether the radiator will have enough room to "radiate" with a bed against it though. www.twitter.com/216Sharon

A good tile installer that knows what he is doing, can easily remove that single piece of tile.... carefully replace it with another one. Do you have another extra pieces of the same tile? Do you know what brand and color the existing grout is? That will be more of the issue trying to get the grout match to match up or the finding the same tile (in the same dye lot) if you need to buy another tile. Did the heat cause the break or did a pan bang into the glass? Consider installing a heat resistant Lumicor or 3 Form panel behind the stove. Any flat material that can be sandwiched between two resin panels. 1). Crushed glass. 2). Fabric. 3). Fabric. 4). Fabric.

It posted! So it looks like you might have enough room for a small sofa. Here is a small curved sectional that could work in this space. You could add two chairs facing the sofa as well: http://www.wayfair.com/Piedmont-Furniture-Lucy-2-Piece-Sectional-DQPG1047.html Or a black leather love seat ( and two or three chairs facing it): http://www.wayfair.com/Flash-Furniture-Hercules-Imperial-Series-Leather-Love-Seat-FFC1995.html Some awesome club chairs : http://www.cymax.com/Coaster-Accent-Chair-in-Bird-and-Branch-Pattern-460406.htm http://www.wayfair.com/Monarch-Specialties-Inc.-Vintage-French-Fabric-Arm-Chair-and-Ottoman-I-8058-MNQ2448.html and I know you have black and white as your colors but know that you can add some color with pillows or even with some chairs - red, purple. yellow or orange would be fun.

Thanks everyone, I'm planning to get my floor tiled up soon, and then later the whitewash. So before all that, I wanna do away with the construction part, if required to transform this hideous corner. I had the roller blinds in my mind to hide these iron windows, but I will also look at options for changing them windows entirely if budgets allow. I might have to use some false ceiling work as well. Posters, I don't think can find space here, but a lounger sofa-bed is a surething with some nice lights. Please do share some pictures of the lights and loungers and floor tiles if you may, for suggestion. I'll be obliged. Thanks again!
