Design Challenge #1

How to transform a small living space into a (minimalist) halfway home?  

This kept me up for two nights in a row, since I want to tackle this gargantuan task as a personal project. I am not an interior designer by profession, but the inclination to transform a small room into a living space with a homey vibe is strong...Too much Star Wars, perhaps.  'The force is strong with this one.'  

I am also starting to enjoy visiting home stores in the Metro and online.  It is beginning to feel like the 'new normal.'  #MarriedLife  #MidLifeActivities

Any suggestions?
