Living Room and Dining Room Makeover

I have the HGTV Instant Makeover software for my computer and it has helped a little in choosing paint colors. Mostly it's just been fun to play with. I got back into it yesterday for some more in depth work and came up with some really great makeovers for not a whole lot of money.

Here's a view from my dining room into my living room, as it is now:

And here's a computer generated image of the makeover.

I simply painted the trim, covered up the ugly ceiling tiles and added handscraped laminate flooring. Oh yeah, and I painted the living room gray instead of blue.

Here's a view of my dining room from the living room.

My living room wall is not really that blue. It's the lighting. And here's after the update:

Envision it with crown molding, a big decorative mirror over the buffet and maybe a decorative rug under the dining table. I had a problem sizing the crown molding in the program, so here's an image I managed to get to work. This is in the dining room looking into the guest bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Just looking at the flooring, molding and trim.

I'm working on the kitchen but I've got less vision for that room, so it's pretty overwhelming. I think I'll leave it alone for now. I did do one on just some small updates to my reading room (back family room/ withdrawing room) but apprently I didn't save the changes. I'll post that later.

Any thoughts on the trim and flooring? I've recently discovered that the trim is most likely not the original trim to the house, so painting over it would not be as big a crime as I previously thought.
