First, It looks like an oak floor, and your furniture looks like Mahogany. An open grain wood is never going to look like that. You can get close with stain. Get a closer pic of the damages, like any deep gouges, and post it. 1990C4S is right, the most time spend will be dealing with the edges. You have to remove all of the finishing so the lumber can take the stain. If you are still thinking you can get away with that sander and get a coat of stain to match, it might be time to call in the pros. Around here sanding and finishing (clear, no stain) normally run about $2.5 per sq'. If its only 400 sq', then you can forget about the sq' price. It might be worth doing it yourself if its small.
