I can't tell what the relationship is between the first photo and the second are. Two instances of the same type of space? What are the dimensions? Is there a bed? Is there a heat source (depending on what climate you live in)?

My wife, while looking over my shoulder said, "It's nice." She likes to browse floor plans online, so that's high praise. :-)

My suggestion would be to try to draw this in SketchUp (it's free). It'll help you flesh out more details of your design because you're working in all 3 dimensions. I'd be happy to give you better feedback on a SketchUp drawing.

Two books I'd recommend before taking on such a project: Homing Instinct and Building for a Lifetime. The first book gives a good grounding on what to build and the broad strokes of what you would want to consider. The second gives an idea about sizing spaces and accessibility.

I drew my house and built it from a SketchUp drawing. I acted as the general contractor and did most of the work myself. It can be done.
