My home is ALMOST complete!

We have been living in our house for just over 6 months now & for some time now I have been feeling disappointed. Mostly because we had the furniture from the 1100 sq. ft condo in a 2100 sq. ft. house & it was NOT what I envisioned our home looking like.
Well, it looks like that NO MORE! A few weeks ago I went to a furniture store, bit the bullet & bought a BEAUTIFUL sectional for our family room & an AWESOME dining table & stools for our dining room. Here is our family room before the new couch:

 
And here it is now!
 
We were sporting the same empty look in the dining room (please ignore the various bits of clutter!):
 
Now, here is our new table! (plenty of room for big dinner parties! YAY!)
 
It has an internal leaf that adds about 6 or so inches to the length. Also notice the little table behind it. That will be the "star" in a little DIY home improvement project I have planned. SO EXCITED!
We've also been kind of scanty in what could be in our front room & I'm pleased to say that is no longer the case! Here's the front room now:
 
This isn't EXACTLY what it will ultimately look like (or even what it will look like for long, we had to move a few things so the delivery guys could bring in the new furniture) but I'm happy to have furniture in there! I feel like we actually LIVE here now, not like it's just somewhere we happen to be staying.
Oh the JOYS of home ownership!!!
And one more picture, just because it's awesome:
