...yes...this really is my kitchen. I couldn't resist a chance to pull out and gather up a bunch of my classic kitchen stuff...except the dolls, I just put those in for a bit of fun. I have absolutely no idea how this will do...not a clue, but I sure do like it.
After:
Wow! Thanks for all the comments and especially for the after challenge support and favs...you guys are awesome.

this should have scored much higher, but still a nice finish :) i thought this was yours, i recognized the chair from another picture in your folio. you do have a real cool kitchen.
great feel. i wish you left the apron? off as i love the color and texture of the chair and it would have been a nice place for the eyes to rest from the busy but interesting counter above.
I think this would be better with fewer objects. Here there seems to be no focal point which makes the image appear cluttered, or as some say, too busy. The focus, colors, and light seem good, the composition needs work. Even just the apron on the chair back in front of the drawers would be nice.
Perfect arrangement of objects, gives focus and balance...the quantity of items could have very quickly become too busy. Looks like a photo the could of been ripped right out of a 40's/50's housekeeping type magazine. Well done!
...just noticed the cowboy lamp, that is too cool!
Beautiful!!! I love the colors! Also there is a very realistic, cozy feel to the shot which makes me feel happy. I don't like the tilt of the counter as much but I do think it helps add to the realism of the shot. Did I mention I love the colors??! :-D
