Need help designing new apartment floor plan?

Girlfriend and kids are moving out so now I need to convert part of the house into an apartment to keep paying the bills. I need to know if my plan will work or if im just wasting my time and ruining my house. A bedroom on the back on the house has a sliding glass door so i though that would make a good entry way for the apartment. The bed room is 14x14 and i want to know if that is big enough to act as a kitchen and living room. Off the old bedroom is a 14x11 room which was going to be a master bath and walk in closet that was never started. I plan on making this room the bedroom and creating a bathroom by cutting my utility/laudryroom down while making it available to both sides. I have a picture of what i came up with. the 14x14 room has to stay in tack. i would rather the 11x14 room does too but i would be up to suggestions. The kitchen and bath layout can be anything. I living in eastern PA and it is a rural ranch style home. I want to charge 600-700 all utilities included.. It will be an unpermited apartment . Thanks for any help.

1. I really can't recommend a non permitted apartment. There are safety issues having to do with fire walls as well as sound proofing. How are you going to give your tenants control over heating and cooling? I have a friend that was turned in by a nosey neighbor and is now facing almost $40,000 in construction costs and fines to redo non permitted work. Please be cautious.
