Redecorating

We have our home on the market and haven't had much luck yet. I am thinking about maybe repainting our living room and dining room and just revamping the place a bit. I know I want to stick to neutral colors and want new pictures to hang on the walls. I hate, hate, hate my living room. I just find it to be so boring and blah and so desperately want it to look different!! We are going to look at some new couches today. We didn't have one stain on our couches before Grace came and since she has arrived, our home looks trashed. We are not slobs by any means but the couches show every stain. If anyone has any neat ideas for me or some helpful decorating websites, share the love!!!
