This makes me want to go stay in a little walk-out apartment on a historic street. I'd absolutely back a sofa or settee against one of the walls that meet in the right corner. Nothing acting as a barrier/division in the middle of the room. nothing large and fixed to walk around to get from one function to another. As for the rest of the living area: For a combination study table, dining table, and side table for a reading chair: A small rectangular table extending out from the other wall in the area the sofa would be in. Glass sounds good visually but could be solid and expandable. If extending out from the end wall near the kitchen, the table could also provide an occasional extra surface for the cook. That table could have a comfortable swivel chair on the sofa side for conservation that would swivel to face the table for study and dining. Then a compact but comfy chair that can tuck under the table for the kitchen side. A third, either always out elsewhere or folded in a closet or under the bed, could be moved to the end of the table for a guest. Toward the bedroom, bathroom, utility doors side, define that side of the living area with an easy chair positioned to both allow passage to the areas beyond and to make it clear that they are beyond, not in. Kitchen: My #1 need is work space. In that case I'd steal inches from the left of the sink, possibly steal from the sink, even take the 3" from the other side of the cooktop if needed/possible, to expand that workspace between sink and stove. Btw, I know I'd theoretically be willing to go for the 3" because we bought a little place with a mini kitchen that had the 30" stove directly against the closet on its left, work counter to its right. I'm left-handed but stove placement turned out to be no problem at all. To make it feel spacious and uncluttered, a generally monochromatic background, including walls, cabinets, large furniture, and some of the smaller pieces, even possibly the floor. That would set off accents chosen for being both functional and because you like to look at them, also to provide balance and focus and draw the eye away from what you don't want noticed. No large, dramatic contrasts that would break the room up, including look-at-me! rugs (unless one was a major feature in an otherwise quiet room). Let the eyes flow serenely around. Looking forward to seeing what you guys decide to do.

Thanks all for taking the time to comment. I ended up going with the Kohler Purist for the two lavatory faucets (lever handles) and the same line, same finish in the hand-held shower assemblage. I know it is out there, but I do like it because it looks fresh and different, and if I come to hate it in 10 years I can pull it out and powdercoat it.. I think I will do the smaller accessories (towel bars robe hooks, toilet paper holder) in black (Delta has a nice black that is much less pricey than their sister, Brizo) and a light from a seller on Etsy that garners great reviews and can make me black and gold sconces for above the frameless medicine cabinets..... This is the sconce seller: https://www.illuminatevintage.com I wish I had the know-how to post the before and afters..will try..

Material cost is only a fraction of the equation. Labor costs make up a bigger percentage of total price and that will vary from location to location. rural Texas is likely a much lower COLA than the New York metro area. If you get a at least four quotes, carol, from those hiring the subs, only than can you get a realistic view of what your individual project will cost. My only advice is to not accept a low ball quote for the showers. Waterproofing and properly sloped pans are essential. In retrospect I wish I bought a Kohler shower pan. So many horror stories on the bath and remodel forums pertaining to uncontracted inexpensive shower constructions. This week alone I have seen five examples of issues. Mistakes happen even with a contract, as I found out but If you have a strong contract specifying how the shower will be constructed and waterproofed if it fails you have redo or refund protection. Also take pictures of every step of construction incase you need to trouble shoot any issues later. Good luck.

Ok, that is a very blanket question, are you purely asking for decor advice or are we taking on a major budget and real $$ changes? 1. what is with the white crown trip around the exhaust pipe for the vent hood? 2. a counter depth fridge would help 3. the backsplash is dated the counters are fresh Dining 1. put the table in the center of the room and remove the table cloth 2. center the globe art piece to the wall and lower, in fact, all your pictures need to be much much lower, and the smaller ones need to be grouped together more collage style. master bath 1. replace the counter and faucet 2. paint the cabinets and add hardware 3. frame the mirror 4. tile the floor ( carpet and water dont mix) living room 1. lower the artwork 2. declutter the top of the tv console a bit 3. a round coffee table would help you a lot, possibly even two nesting tables that are small and could be pulled out to use. master bed 1. add some curtains to the windows to soften 2. add some storage like an ottoman at the end of the bed to put the 'junk" in. 3. lower and group photos and art. So far you on track, I like your living room and your art pieces. The new shower doors are pretty!
