First of all congrats on the new house! Wish you lots of joy and happiness while living in it!

Here is my version of layout of the furniture:
http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=gOV50zDm5m

In brief,
*a chaise longue next to the window ,
*a small coffee table (which you may easilly move to the small part of the wall at the end of the chaise longue under the window) ,
*a footstool (high as the chaise longue), which you may use as additional extention of the sofa and thus having two places on the sofa for relaxing,
*TV cabinet
Add some nice curtains, plants, wall art and you're done :)

You may check below photos as idea for the bathroom:

This bathroom looks nice! And you can do whatever you want with some additional accessories.
Personally, I wouldn't paint the walls, would leave the white and just add some bright accessories.

Saw that IKEA has some good offers.Don't know whether you can afford to bye the accessories at once, but you can always add them one by one.
Here are some examples with bath accessories:
1.Shower curtain - $6.99
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50181989
2.Bath mat - $19.99

3.Laundry basket - $7.99
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10191259
4.Pendant light - $8.00
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10201611
(it looks like a wrinkled towel to me :) )
5.Wall shelves - $49.99
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80163781
(you can use them as a towel holder , check this inspiring idea:

6.Wall shelf - $12.99
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09867186
(may mount it above the sink)

So far : $105.95

And as you sad, you can ask your parents for a mirror, here is one which can be mounted on the wall
above the sink :

It has even space for a hairbrush, comb, jewelry etc. inside on the doors.

As a final touch, you can put a nice looking painting, or a poster above the toilet , or on the wall against the door.
Hope you liked the above examples of accessories and the rough calculation of their total value.
Good luck and enjoy decorating!

How about a little strange idea ...
Mount the TV on the wall of the kitchen island (facing the living room).
Get rid of these bar stools and take nice light chairs and glass dinner table and put them next to the window (where the TV stands now in the photo).Thus you'll have enough sunlight in the room.

You may put a sofa chaiselongue in the corner of the room (the back of the sofa facing the sliding door) and leaving enough space for the door to open.
As proposed by lampeam , buy a pair of prints. Hang one on the door and one behind. When closed, a pair, when open, a single piece of art. And you'll finish the look of the wall above the sofa.

If the furniture is placed like above, you can see the TV both from the dining table and from the sofa.

Personally... I can't decide .. both options - with or without hardware , have its pros and cons...
Maybe you'll have to decide which option suits you best when using the kitchen.
If you don't want to add hardware, I would suggest you to use your decoration skills :)
May use adhesive foil in aluminium colour right on the former wood trim.
Something like this in the photo:

... or if you want hardware on the cabinet doors, suggest you to use these kind of handles :

.. and thus the lips of the trim will be disguised :)

This favorite story inspires many designers, such as Doshi Levien and his daybed Principessa:

... and the famous Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco and his point of view of the story:

Hmmm, with this strange architectural plan , there are not many choices ...
I'd either do as AbigailC proposed above, or would put one sofa close to the wall (the one facing north) and the other sofa facing it with the coffee table between them.
TV might go on the right wall (as it is at the moment as I could see from the photos) or could go on the left window wall on a short TV table.

You might use the tiny wall (between the entry door and the archway into the dining room) by putting a shelf for the keys, letters etc. and hooks on the wall for the jackets.

Or use the corner made by the left wall and the entry door .... here is an idea ...

Here's another one way for pebble flooring, which is easy to clean and has the same effect as on the picture above:
resin pebble flooring - it uses pebbles but with epoxy resin spread on the top of the pebbles ... The final look is clean and smooth surface ...
Here are some examples ....

Here is a very interesting idea about the shades:
