Off the top of my head...
I think I would try putting the couch and side table in front of the windows (a couple inches away from the baseboard heater), put the bookcase in the corner where the dining table is, slide the desk a wee bit closer to the door, and move the dining table to where the couch is now. Leave the tv where it is. This way the dining table is closer to the kitchen and the couch is set straight in front the tv for comfy viewing :)

DIY Idea: Old Sweater into New Lampshade Unskinny Boppy

I recently stained and painted a dresser in my 1 bedroom apartment. I moved my dining table to the middle of the living room and did all my work in the corner where I normally eat. I used a cheap tarp from lowe's to protect the carpet and opened windows and ran fans to try to avoid some fumes. I think I had that mess in there for a week and it was annoying, but I live alone so it wasn't bothering anyone else and the finished result made it worth it!

I have your dresser! From Ikea right? I painted mine white and stained the top, if you need some inspiration. http://www.flickr.com/photos/conchitasdaughter/8176477882/

It was a little difficult to stain (the wood grain in pine is tricky or something), so if you decide to do something with yours I would recommend painting over staining the whole thing.

Also, I agree with the people who said you just need to add more accessories and color contrast, and lamps!

If you look at the listing on ebay you'll see you're supposed to sleep INSIDE it, like a sleeping bag
