answer:I love toying with designing my own space and as a former int. design and home staging asst. I have many ideas. Now days after raising a family and being single/divorced for years I prefer an open floor plan. If I could design the perfect little house for myself it would be one huge room with a kitchenette and separate bathroom but the rest would be a huge room with a fireplace, a sitting/living area and my bedroom scene all in one large, open room. I would place my bed near the fireplace at one end of the room, maybe with a decorative screen or curtains around the bed, a large area rug and then set up the living area at the opposite end with lots of open space in between. I would then create a small breakfast nook/eating area on one side with, perhaps a bistro table. I would also have lots of windows to maximize the open floor plan. Hardwood floors with bold area rugs and a general color scheme that could be easily changed around with colorful accents such as throw pillows, area rugs, etc. I am moving to a studio apartment soon on a large property and am very excited about how I will set things up. :-)
