So I'm rearranging my room, have most of the important furniture measured.

Now I need a program that would create a properly proportioned, according to measurement in Feet/Inches, 2d topside layout.

Anyone have any ideas?

if you have max, i suppose you could do something in the top view. max has settings for in., feet, etc...
otherwise, mspaint maybe?
not trying to be an ass here. last august i moved into my basement (shut up) and i used max to lay everything out. im happy with the result

Put everything on the ceiling, then you have loads of room left.

I did it in flash once. Just make a key for pixels to inches.

3DS max?

:/

Seems pretty well suited for this kind of thing.

Google Sketchup.

Free, easy to use, and it can be set to use measurements of meters, feet, inches, centimeters, etc.

That looks photoshopped.

Also, Google Sketchup or 3DS Max. If you feel really evil you can use Hammer or Unreal Editor, put it in game and mess around with that.

Extend upon this: With Source, you could go ahead and make boxy representations of your furniture using brushes, tie all of your brushes to func_physbox (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Func_physbox) and then be able to move your stuff around using the gravity gun. Rearrange your room that way until you find something that you like.
