Decor for da house Part 2 Living Room and Dining Room

I've been out for a few weeks with being sick and then out of town, I haven't had time to catch up with my blog. Or at least not enough energy. The migraine problem only seems to stay the same or get worse so who knows.

I wanted to continue showing you my house and hope that you might be able to give me some kind of inspiration. I've done quite a bit already with what Ty and I already had (mostly Ty) and gifts of decor that we received from the wedding. (By the way, one year in a couple of days!!!! Oh I'll be posting!)

So here ya go! And feel free to suggest or critique your little hearts away.

View coming from the hallway. I love my pillows!

View of Entryway.

Entryway table. And yes those are transformers. My husband is still a child at heart. :)

Entertainment Center. Again, yes that is the old-school Nintendo. I love my husband!

I'm not sure that I want to change much with this area. I've kind of been thinking of what should I put in the basket. I have wicker balls that I could put there. Or should I leave it the way it is?

View from other side of the room. His aunt MADE that rug! There's another one under the table.

This is one of those problem areas. I finally figured that I'm going to put out Marriage Certificate up there on the blank side in a frame. I'll post pictures as soon as I can get Ty to do it. ;)

This little beauty we got at Bed, Bath, & Beyond when we used out gift cards. (*Side Note: Gift Cards are the best gifts!) This is what I've come up with so far, but you'll remember from my last post that I usually decorate it for each holiday. However, I'd like something for the in between stages. I had originally bought the wicker balls for this. What do you think?

I would say this area is pretty much set, but in serious need of an updated picture.

I finally decided to push this couch back to open up the room. Behind it is a large container for blankets and quilts. You'll never go cold coming to our house. Next to the couch is the "Music Room/Area".

This wall has become my nemesis.

SEE! It's one big wall that connects the Living Room to the Dining Room. I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm strongly considering getting a Dining room Hutch. Hooray for Craigslist, and the new CraigsHelper: SearchTempest. Check Hutch 1, 2, and 3. Which one do you like? And don't go trying to steal them :).

The Dining Room. Yup those are real swords. Seriously, my husband is every little boy's dream playmate. My Father-in-law is working on making a display case for them so their a little more child-proof. I'm still not sure whether I'll put it up in the Dining Room or the Office.

Another blank wall!

I like my table. :) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we are hoping buy a new one with some new chairs. The table is fine, but we would like something a little different and with more chairs. We currently only have two unbroken ones! Another one that is still usable and a folding chair when we have company.

So that's Part Deuce. Let me know your suggestions. Next time I'll show you my kitchen!
