"Home sweet home" no longer

After five years at our old one bedroom place, we finally decided to spread out a bit and move to a two bedroom down the road. Of course this came after I had done some major organizing and had finally gotten things how I wanted them in our place...now I'm starting all over, with a whole extra room! But this is where we used to call home...
This is the dining area in my old kitchen. I used IKEA shelves to store all my glassware, as well as my table linens and a large amount of my scrapbook and crafting paraphenalia. Boxes and baskets certainly hide a lot and make things slightly less cluttered.

The view into the Living room. Our office took up the whole corner, but at least I finally got my entertainment center that I'd been eyeing since IKEA opened. However, measure the opening for the t.v. first, we could have bought a much larger t.v. than was advertised.

Slightly different view, I used the loveseat and buffet to create more defined living and dining areas.
This is our bedroom (after over a year in an efficiency it had been SO nice to be able to have a bedroom - no one wants to come over for dinner when they have to sit on your bed, awkward!). I had the duvet laying around and found a placemat at Walmart that lead to the color inspiration in the room.
