I had to look up the dictionary: sublime! ;)

A peaceful living space made with love!

I'd go for lower cabinets or open shelves along the wall and the top of it to be used as several art frames. So you'll be free to add, reduce and / or rearrange them freely without disturbing walls.

The first photograph is worth to make a deco-magazine cover!

I especially enjoyed the dressing closets solution and the lovely carpets that created a vibrant energy across the space.

Having two experience with flooded upstairs neighbors, I can only imagine the hard work to pull things up. Well done Ken!

I would: keep the open-shelves as they are & change the wall color and add color-coordinated
back-splash & paint the lower cabinets doors.

A cheerful space! I most liked the sewing corner :)

A blend with a character! It's a rare thing and I think they did great!

I especially liked the Turkish hamams-inspired bathroom. Being Turkish, I've seen many examples or should I say attempts to bring hamam feeling into modern bathroom. This is second to none!

I still cover most of my books with paper with the scraps of gift wrapping etc... doing it with cartoons magazine papers is my recent fave :)

Kudos to you for embracing the kitchen's character and even improve it by paint. Definitely a fabulous work done! Enjoy!

I am not sure about your style choices but we recently had our family-vintage (mid-century) armchair reupholstered with a floral fabric by keeping the original legs intact:

Maybe this can help also.

I don't know about the neighborhood or budget spent... I just think that the space looks like yet another furniture-company-showroom.

All are so nice! I am from Turkey and in my hometown similar baskets are made, traditionally. They are both functional & aesthetic. We've got one at home, too :)

Very good job for such limited space. I love everything but the most Studio Trio Grommet-Top curtains.

Oh, I just read your latest comment/question about having Grey as wall paint. I'm skeptical about that, because grey-tones might be very tricky in changing lights through the seasons and you may end up in darker room than you imagine at first. I'd recommend going for bright tones. Good luck :)

You've got a very cozy room. I actually lived in same size space (a single-room house) for 10+ years and loved every day of it! I'd:

-first do a little declutter for the frames. After reviewing which one to keep, etc. some basic re-framing and / or passepartout work may add a lot visual quality and integrity.
-Fix a counter-table (if you can) along the window-wall. The other chair can find its way there, this way...
-replace the large mirror with the bookcase: after having TV, entertainment & the large mirror gone you'll have certain space, why not use for the books?
- you may even merge the bookcase with the counter-table, maybe by first placing the bookcase on the side to the window (if fits well) then measure the table top shape.
-keep the futon and place it next to the lamp. With that you'll have a cozy spot between light & along-the-wall desk: good for working with laptop, reading and or tea time ;)
-what about painting the walls in a warm/bright color you like?

I totaly agree with KaBoomBOX, the Marble dining table corner gives an impression of unfinished job. The sofa and around is greatly done.
