Just like englishdaffodil, I subscribed to Country Living after seeing it in my doctor's office as well. If you're into mid-mod homes/decor, try Atomic Ranch.

Toby Fraley, who designed the Honey Bear vases, has lots of cool ceramic and non-ceramic work, including robots made from recycled parts. He even created an entire pop-up gallery featuring a "Robot Repair Shop" here in Pittsburgh - http://pghrobotrepair.com/

Also similar to my living room, but your landing area to the left of the door is much larger than mine. Here is what I have, which would prob work for you as well:
Couch along wall to the left of door when you enter, end tables flanking either side of it, floor lamp in the corner between end table and fireplace. Ottoman in front of couch provides extra seating for parties, as well as storage.
TV on stand exactly how you have yours. Your tv doesn't look that large but appears to be dwarfing the stand, a wider one might look better.
Wall opposite fireplace (under stairwell) tall bookcase, then armchair, then end table.
Good luck, you've got nice bones to work with!

@TrishinPeoria I've been composting for less than 2 yrs now, and just the deduction of garbage alone has been worth it - it's amazing what all can be composted. Even though you don't have a lot of plants, you can probably find a friend or neighbor who would take some of your "good" compost. If not, it will only utilize the space that your bin will already take up in your yard, so if you have an area to spare, do it!

I have a metal towel rack, so I just use a green (similar color to my walls) metal carabiner to hang my hair dryer. Costs a buck!
