Kitchen Close-Up, CHAIRS!, and A few "Finishing Touches"

So, I have a few loose ends to wrap up regarding the decorating that has been going on in the Owens household. First, several people have commented on the kitchen pics from an earlier post. In an effort to save space since I tend to over-load the blog with pics (b/c I don't like to think/type), and this led to poor picture quality regarding the kitchen. You have asked for close-ups of the kitchen, and I have answered! Below is a close-up of the kitchen. You can see past the kitchen a yellow hallway, this is the color the kitchen was. It is now "Misted Green" by Benjamin Moore. This hallway will eventually be something other than yellow (maybe the same as the kitchen??) but for now will remain as-is due to my lack of time.

Secondly, the chairs that I wrote of in an earlier post finally arrived (about 2 months ago, I am slow!!). I am in love with them...although the room is still not complete. I keep reminding myself of my "work in progress" and this keeps me from feeling overwhelmed that my home is not 100% decorated. It is okay! These chairs are in the sunroom off the master bedroom. Oscar likes the chairs, too!

If you will scroll down to an earlier post you will see a round mirror that is gold...well, it is now RED! See below...I don't know what piece of furniture I will get to go below it, but it is kind of a fun statement (and only cost a couple bucks for the spray paint...the mirror was a hand-me-down from my in-laws!)

And, finally, a few decorations to make the living room look more tied together. Of course, this again falls under the "work in progress" heading. Time, financials, and lack of ideas make putting it all together a slow process for me. But, as with all, it will come together eventually! (Yes, there are still tags on the pillows b/c I hadn't quite decided if I would keep them or not...I guess I should add "indecisiveness" to my list of excuses. I decided to keep the pillows!) My favorite color is green and it seems to appear all over our house; don't know if this is a good thing or not, but it is what it is and I like it!

Sadly, until my PT boards are over this is all the decorating that I anticipate doing...so maybe my blogs will be a little less superficial for the next few months?? I don't have a real theme to my blog but I like to decorate so I thought I would share this with you, however I reflect back on how tangible it is and I wonder "Am I really this superficial??" I am not..I am just not very reflective! Ha...maybe I will try to be...the next few months of hard-core studying could turn me into a reflective person. Who knows!?

Anyways...gotta give a shout-out to new mommy Julie McDonald! Her beautiful baby girl, Norah, was born this morning...check her blog soon as I am sure she will update when she gets some downtime. Yay for babies, and Way To Go Jules!
