Short answer is yes. It's fine.
The long answer is this house was built in the 70's, when builders only expected homeowners to plug in a tv, stereo, and a couple of lamps in the living room. Now we have a stereo, gaming system, tv/projector, streaming media player, lamps, power recliners, wifi access point, not to mention that since we have 3 adults working full time from home, we have 2 desktop computers with 5 monitors, a laptop, and a full-size printer/copier machine.
I don't understand why the outlets in the bedroom are on the same circuit as the outlets in the living room; the living room is in the front of the house and the bedrooms are at the back, but they *are* all on the west side of the house. Maybe the builder assumed people wouldn't be drawing power in the living room and the bedrooms at the same time. It is what it is.
