  You can domain map your blog to a subdomain of your current website so that your blog would be blog.yourdomain.com That would eliminate the additional domain you’re currently using for your blog. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  If for some reason you prefer to maintain two separate domains, easier would be to simply link from one to the other using the Custom Menu and keep both sites visually similar, somewhat like you are doing now. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Personally, if it were me, I’d bring everything under one roof just for the sake of convenience, especially if you don’t need to run special scripts, won’t be doing paid advertising or the like. Here’s the run down on the differences between standalone WordPress and WordPress.com http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
