First, thanks for all your great suggestions ladies! I've incorporated some of them and the living room is looking a ton better already. Getting rid of the hanging lanterns and putting a mirror on the wall was a BIG difference. I also angled the ugly green chair towards the room and got a small table, lamp, and plant for that little area and it looks really cozy and cute. We still need to get a new entertainment center and I'm still considering painting the back wall chocolate.

Yup! It was on sale for like $38 or something. It was exactly what I wanted for that area.
