I think you're best if you have a private place in the nursery (it takes a while before you're comfortable nursing in front of company, plus baby may be distracted by company by 5 months or so) AND a place in the living room.

In addition, I would recommend creating a nursing basket. Just some sort of basket with one handle (so you can pick it up one-handed). That way it's always handy no matter where you're nursing. Nursing pads, remote, cordless phone, kleenex, camera, bottle of water, granola bar, burp rag or two, ipod...in short, if baby had been up all night and finally fell asleep on YOU and you did not want to move for fear of waking her, what would you want to be within arm's reach? (Other than a bathroom, of course.)

Oh, and a Boppy will save your back many times over.

Good for you for planning to nurse!
