Doing the living room, small hallway and bedroom. 350 sq ft in living room, 30 in hallway and 150 sq ft in bedroom. Should I leave an expansion gap between hallway and bedroom?

I wouldn't bother, we only put expansion gaps at doors where they intersect perpendicular, we use a strip of cork usually.

I've been called gifted but more times than not, a "special artist".

I actually make a lot of money in my spare time making these scale architectural drawings. Send lots of them up to Michigan, best they've ever seen.
