Living in a small home #2

The living room from different angles (click to enlarge)...
This bookshelf (which desperately needs to be repainted, but I probably won't get to that for a while!) provides extra storage without being too intrusive or taking up a whole wall (as it used to before the rearrangement) Right now it holds my cookbooks, CDs and a few decorative things, but I'm looking forward to getting it reorganized more efficiently soon.
The wicker chair used to live in our bedroom, but has been moved to make room for baby stuff (baby will be rooming with us for the first few months). The wooden box on the coffee table holds all the remotes. (BTW, wouldn't the fireplace be SO cute if we could take down those two ugly brick trails climbing up the wall, whitewash the brick, and put up a real wood mantle? Do you think the landlord would notice?;o)
