Living Room Ideas

I just wanted to share with y'all the ideas I have had for my new living room.  I am going to take my time finding the right pieces for everything, so it will be a while before it actually looks anything like my "idea board" (which by the way, looks terrible! I clearly haven't figured out how to make the ones that actually look like the room but whatever!)

This is the living room, standing at the front door looking towards the dining room.  I apologize for the grainy phone picture.  There are a few details you can't see.  The big front window for one...it looks direclty into the living room.  The stairs are directly to the right in the picture, right when you walk in the front door, and there is a bathroom underneath them.  There are also two large columns that kind of divide the living room from the "passage way" to the kitchen.  I could stare at this living room forever. It is an absolute dream!

This is what I have in mind.

I like these layouts...
