Update on "Stuff"

We FINALLY have our front yard landscaped-YAY! Yep, after 6 months in our house and a front yard of just dirt, it is finally is landscaped which in Arizona means rocks, boulders and plants. No grass allowed per the HOA. I would take a picture to show you but our digital camera is broken.
I was all excited a week or two ago because we decided on a paint color and lined up a painter to paint the interior of our house. It's all builders white right now, very boring and I am anxious to get it done. However, we've been stalled trying to get our color matched in the paint brand that our painter and everyone we've talked to seems to recommend. I never dreamed it would be this hard to match a paint color. We're trying a couple other colors this weekend. Hopefully we will have some success!
We bought new chairs for our kitchen counter area. I was excited to get them and now I can't decide if I like them or not. The chairs themselves are very nice but not sure they go in the house. I'm a bit challenged when it comes to decorating so I'm not sure but they are very dark wood (they almost look black). Not sure. I would post a picture but our digital camera is broken.
A couple weeks ago, we were shopping and found this really pretty decorative huge copper plate. We bought it and put it up on top of our kitchen cabinets and I love it! We decided that plates will be the theme up there. I found another one that is a glass plate with gold and red colors. Love it too! I'd take a picture for you but our digital camera is broken.
Several people have asked if we've been swimming and the answer is no, not yet. It has been 80 degrees all week so we will probably get it heated up and then start using it soon. We have been in the hot tub a few times in the last week. Ahhhh so refreshing. I know I owe you a picture of the pool as well. I haven't posted one since it was finished. I would post one now but our digital camera is broken.
And lastly, guess what? Our darn digital camera is broken. Can you believe it?!!

Wow, progress, I'd love to see pictures! :-)

I am also decorator challenged, and I love to see what other people do!
