Ok; I've lived in my house for six months and I'm so bored by the layout of everything!! I'm clueless about "Feng Shui" and anything that has to do with decorating! So I could PLEASE use some help!!
Here are photos of my main rooms now

Wow... you have some very tricky spaces! I'll toss these rooms around a bit and see what I can do. I know how layouts can get boring... especially when you're stuck with certain large pieces, but a simple re-arrange can make a huge difference.
May I ask how you created the layouts you have? Did you use an online program? Would it be possible to get furniture dimensions from you?

i have been told i'm great at decorating. so here goes. you've got too many right angles... you need to add depth, dimension, flow, and a more natural, chaotic feel. too much order can feel stiff and well... boring. so try some angles, put more things into corners instead of centering it on a main wall. have a focal point in each room, the entertainment center for example, in the living room, and center the room around that. your seating arrangement here is very closed off, not very cozy for visiting... and you have a chair that can't see the tv. in living rooms, arranging seating where everyone can see the tv and everyone can see each other-ie your chairs all circle around a focal point or face each other, makes it cozier, warmer, more inviting. just some thoughts.

Dimensions:
Living Room: 17x17
Couch 7x4
Chair 4x4
Entertainment Center 5x3
I might add that the chair that can't see the TV is HIDEOUS!! It's my mother in laws from the 70's so it's browns and greens; we have a blanket over it so you can't see the actual chair; but the back is visible and should be by a wall if possible!
Bedroom:
17x14
Bed is Queen Size
Dresser 5x3
Office
14x14
Desk 4x2
All the other furniture could be flip flopped from room to room... or taken out completely!

The program I used was "RoomArranger" (I downloaded it this morning)
