I would just store my things in the attic space and as for the table I probably would just make room for it in another space/room even if it ment crowding some other furniture together.

Making over the attic space is a good idea but would it be worth the money and time, how long will your son be staying ??

I am sure the situation is just as hard for him as it is for you.
