Before and After: Living Room

I know I promised before and after pictures of our new house a long time ago. We are feeling very comfortable and settled, but of course there are always more projects to work on, like better organizing the guest room/office, or painting the kid's room upstairs.
But anyway, here are pictures of the Living Room.

Before - and yes, the fruit stained glass lamp is still hanging, it's just up a little higher and more out of the way. Jer says he likes it, so I guess we keep it for now.

After - It's amazing to me how a room can actually look bigger when you put stuff in it. We were pretty impressed with how we could fit most of our furniture from our old house into this house, which is significantly smaller. I think we did a pretty good job. :)
