You definitely have an interesting and challenging space. One thing to keep in mind is the distance to a bathroom. I would recommend that your office goes in the space at the back of the attic instead of sleeping guests, finding a bathroom at night might be a bit of a headache, literally. The guest room (or your bedroom) would be best in the front part of the attic which looks like it has the entry door to the space and a flat ceiling. Babies don't need much space, so the middle area would be the best. Also, it looks like you may have some space for storage cabinets that you could add for clothes, supplies, etc. Most of all, try to enjoy the challenge it really looks like a fun space!

I agree with Lemonadefish, check with the landlord before you add anything to the cabinets. The trim at the bottom should not be a issue when adding knobs. I would suggest you use a long vertical pull (the kind where you use several fingers around it to open the cabinet, does that make sense?) instead of a knob and install them above the trim piece. But if you really want to add some color to the kitchen, use some fun, colorful accessories on the top of the cabinets (no landlord issues there)!

Your gray roof is a light cool color, so the house should be a warm darker color. Keep fascia, eaves, and window trim a crisp white. Adding shutters if you have room for them is a good idea. Paint them a similar color to the roof but a slightly darker shade, that will tie the roof to the rest of the house visually. Then add the pop of contrast color at the entry door.
