What is the best way to organise the furniture in my room?

My room is fairly large but it's a little difficult to know where to place my bed etc due to the lack of 'bare' walls (ie just wall and no window, wardrobe, door or balcony). How would you place everything if this was your room and your furniture?

This is a rough floor plan of my bedroom, along with the current furniture arrangement. That's a single bed, a little bedside table, a desk that would be great for a desktop computer (which I don't have), and that brown rectangle is a little cupboard thing I may end up putting my TV on again.
The red arrow indicates where the aerial port and double power outlet (thing what you plug the plugs into?) are.
The window is west-facing, the white rectangle on the left hand side of the picture is a small balcony whilst the brown boxes on the bottom of the picture show a built-in wardrobe [it's my first time drawing a floor plan like that].

So... any ideas? Any hints or tips somebody who has a vague understanding of feng shui principles would like to give?

We've just entered an Australian summer and my bedroom is on the second floor (one up from ground) so I'm unsure whether placing my bed under the window would make sleeping at night easier or harder...

Thanks for your input!

I want to redecorate my room any ides?

i want to redecorate my room, but i don't know how, i want it, chic, girly and unique any ideas. Also it has to be at an affordable price. My room actually is pretty big, its like to rooms, in one, but with no division. Right now in the small (first) part of my room there is a twin bed, table with chairs, computer and extra stuff, in the other part i have a queen bed a sofa desk a big furniture thing with my tv, books,and extra stuff. this room also has two big windows one with a balcony plus the big part of my room has a very high ceiling.

Teen bedroom ieas?

I need ideas for a female teen's bedroom. My room has wooden walls, kind of like a cabin, wood floors, high ceilings, and sliding glass doors with a balcony. I already have a queen bed and a furniture set, but I need decorationg ideas. I was thinking some chinese paper laterns and maybe a small cafe table with two chairs for the balcony?

What to do with a huge room?

I live in a house with my grandparents and mum - they have a kitchen in the first floor and living room in second. Me and mum have 2 rooms upstairs, and we rent 2 rooms downstairs. But my grandparents want to stop renting one of them and move there to avoid stairs. So the free room will become mine. The current stairs will be removed.

All my life I had a room made by splitting the kitchen by a wooden wall. More an illusion of privacy than the real thing. It has barely 90 square feet. This new room is a bit smaller than others in the house, but still has 220 square feet. And it will have all four real walls and will be much more sound-proof. And a balcony. And I'll have my own bathroom, complete with a tub and everything.

The "problem" is I have absolutely no idea what to do with so much space. I'm only sure I want a double bed and wooden furniture. Any ideas? Are there any sites that let you make an model of a room for free? I'm sure I saw something like this, but can't remember.
The house is roomy. Even if I'd have my own family, people can shift the flats quite easily. There were more than 3 families living here some time ago. Besides, there could be a huge charming flat instead of the attic - it has so much unused architectural potential... My family lived for generations in this house. I don't want to change it - for those who think young people necessarily need to move out.

How to convince hubby to sell home?

When we bought our brand new home in 2007 we had always planned on selling in the future. He is only 24 and I only 21 so we are both very proud of the house we created together. I also have two horses and having moved into town it has become a burden to board the horses away from where we live. Now i have been with horses since i was six and selling is not an option right now. We can afford them but it is a hassle having someone else look after my horses. In my opinion I am the only one who can look after them correctly and having to let someone else do it for me is very hard to swallow We were hoping to rent out the house here and move out to the country but unfortunatly there are very very few option in this area. I have found a place for sale while looking for a rental in the country, it is older then our new home but looks in a ok condition and is set up for two-three horses to boot. Plus the asking price is lower then what we paid for the new house and has many more features - two extra bedrooms, a garage (we don't have one) its landscaped (ours is only partial will be finished this summer) 2.78 acres of pasture and sheds and has a huge garden which is one thing i really want. Our mortgage would be lower as well with would be fantastic since we are expecting in may and we would like to continue saving for our big move North in a few years.

This sounds like a fantastic oppurtunity and right up our alley as it is right close to where we live now and his service truck would be able to be indoors . (we would have to inspect this whole place first to make sure it really is what we want). I have mentioned the place to hubby and he of course thought it to bad that we didn't wait to buy. Taking on an extra mortgage would be a little tough right now until his business is stable (he just started in october). Since the house is so new there isn't a lot that needs to be fixed and we already did some upgrades before moving in such as pulling carpet and putting down lamnet, some landscaping in the front ect. The pulled carpet would be included to replace the bedroom in the future.

My biggest concern is hurting hubbies feelings and making him feel like he hasn't provided enough. How can I approch this topic with him? I know he really wants to keep the place and would like to rent it out but i just don't see another mortgage in the future any time soon.

Any ideas?
Firstly i said i didn't want to take on two mortgages, I want to sell the one house we have and buy the other which would be cheaper for a mortgage and would save us more money.

Secondly i am in Canada and in the oil country where the economy is down but not horrible like the states. Prices are down but this area is booming do to oil and the liklyness of finding a place like this for $88 000 again is quite slim.
Rental prices in this area typically run from 500.00 for a room in the city to 1500.00-2000.00 for a house. That is much more then our current mortgage.

Diary of a Snow Shoveller?

December 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow
covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can
there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the
best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and
felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snow plow came along and covered up the sidewalks
and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect
life.

December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a
disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely
have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says
we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to
see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice
man. I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature
