Great job overall, yet I do have some questions/observations
1) 12.5'x8.25' isn't exactly a "very small room" for many people (my mother's Master/Owners Bedroom, the larger of the two is this size. Her Guest bedroom, kitchen and dining rooms are all 8 x 8. I hear that in places like New York even my mother's room sizes would be a luxury!
2) Great job covering the Duct work & Mechanicals, and realize the whole thing couldn't be extended due to the upper cabinet, but why didn't you cover the electrical and conduit sticking out somehow
3) Why didn't you enclose or hide the Water Heater (there are ways without violating new construction codes)? In many older homes and apes, the Water heater is inside small closets or even within Kitchen cabinets!) Painting it the same dark gray as the wall helps it some but left exposed like that it might be a good place for an unexpected splash of color...accentuate it...paint it fire engine red or something wild (or keeping with your color scheme, the green/teal of the "hello" pillow and bench cushions).
It doesn't fit your situation as an entry way/mudroom, but can see this easily as a kids play space where the Water Heater is transformed into a Robot or Rocket Ship !
4) Good job of minimizing the Breaker Boxes. I have seen others attach framed artwork to hide them even more and still maintain functional access

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
If you prefer they enter through the front, why is this door not locked when you are expecting guests? I'm not understanding the bottom line of why people come into your home in a way you wish they didn't. Room looks great.
I love this room, especially the floor. What kind of tile is that?
are the “kitty curtains” used to hide the litterbox ? Or just a cozy hiding place for their beds ?
absolutely Lovelovelove the library ladder n storage solutions ... I love people that work Around their pets instead of making the pets adapt
good job Momma!!
