More photos for anyone with decorating advise for the living/dinining/hall area

There are 21 ft vaulted ceilings so lots of painting required.  I do like the white wash on the beams and ceiling so don't think I'll change that.  There is white tile in the hall dining area and kitchen which will stay.  I like the white fireplace too so won't do anything there.  So,  carpet,  wall paint and trim,  and sofa, chair (probably a recliner because Jim loves them so much) and coffee table.  Probably some other lamps down the road too.

Suggestions?

We've put the sofa like this because they made a ragged job of tearing up the tile to put the carpet in.  That will be fixed when we replace the carpet so the sofa will not be on an angle.
