I like the layout Bski, given that your future plans are for this to be a shop/guest house. My guess is that you will leave the upstairs as a guest house (couch could be a sofa-bed or a futon) for when you have celebrity guests such as Theo or Sunil or for those times that Donnaski is fed up with your behavior and banishes you from the future Liberty Preserve Lodge and you need a place to sleep. I can picture you and Donnaski sitting on the balcony enjoying a pond view.

Good stuff.
