Furniture fandango

My apartment is, on the average, quite untidy. I attribute this to three things: one, the lack of proper places for the things that I own; two, my own procrastinative nature; and three, the extremely cluttered nature of the furniture.
Without any help, I rotated my entire bed ninety degrees. Now it lies flush against the corner of my bedroom.
The improvement is that the floor space is no longer a narrow U-shape, interrupted in one corner by my computer chair. Now there's big open space in the middle, as it should be. The TV tray that served as my nightstand is now next to the computer, where my printer now rests and operates for the first time since March.
Unfortunately, some things are awkward now. I obscured the outlet that was connected to my light switch. That's just as well, since my lamp has been evicted by my printer. Also, my window's pretty big, so my windowshade is now wedged between the bed and the wall. I suspect I can solve these problems by buying a frame for my bed, and a wall-mounted light for that corner.
Aside from that, I need to get myself a reading and writing desk, so that I don't have to pay my bills in the dining room. Move the bookshelf, and I'm all set...
...in the bedroom.
My living room will still be a friggin' obstacle course.
