Living Room - Before and After

I've been wanting to do before's and after's for all the rooms in our house, but I've been waiting to take pictures of the house now until after I'm done decorating. Well, apparently that will be never so I've just got to move on. This house is small, barely 1000 sq ft, so the goal was to make it feel bigger, bright and airy.
First up is the living room.
This is how it looked when we started.

During


 After - The obvious changes being that we moved the window over and made it larger. We moved the door off the far wall.
 Can't remember the name of the paint in here. It's a light gray/ blue and I love it, but it is very subtle. (as are most of the paint colors in this house.) ☺ Update: The paint color is Reflecting Pool by Behr.


 Still haven't figured out what to do on this wall. I kind of like the idea of a picture wall, but I'm worried that would make this whole room feel cluttery. Suggestions?
 A different angle of the wall.
I like mirrors and what they do for a room, but I already have a big mirror over the couch. (although, I'm open to moving it, just don't tell Cary I said that!) ☺ So what to do, what to do?

Annette, your house is adorable and so clean! Your kids are so cute too!
Can you please send whoever hung up your TV to my house so they can hide my cords?! :)

Thanks Natalie! ☺
I'll send Cary right over to hide your tv cords, he's quite the handyman now. ;)
