Slow Going and Half Decorated

We are at the point on this project where it feels like we are close to being finished. It's a trick. We are nowhere near completion. However, the things left (on the main level....we haven't even started on the basement) are all little, tedious items. Lots of trim work, lots of finishing items and a few major items (like kitchen cabinets, appliances and doors). Here are some photos of where things are right now. Personally, I absolutely despise having to put out any kind of decor items prior to everything being completed. However, we live here and I eventually caved in and realized that we needed a few necessary items (a couple of chairs, a lamp, a small tv, etc) to get us through this phase.
