one room challenge - family room week 5

One. Week. Left. I only have one week left to get everything finished before the big One Room Challenge reveal next Wednesday. (catch up on <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/p/one-room-challenge.html" target="_blank">weeks 1 - 4 here</a>)<br /><br />I'll keep it real people, my progress from last week has been <strike>almost non-existent</strike> slow and I am burning the candle at both ends to get this, as well as some other big projects, done on time. So I'll keep this short and sweet.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbgQJVxZxjReaidjq7oBHCy78tWUBQq39go2nMgpzHY6cKFE72J8U72haj4ZkzLGYj2KdeqO9D9oliokz5yp4K-deK4_BSaQFl3uWS924uVN1PfMLCiWQMxUFGdsQ0NyWK5TTyUkOB2iI/s1600/OneRoomChallengeCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbgQJVxZxjReaidjq7oBHCy78tWUBQq39go2nMgpzHY6cKFE72J8U72haj4ZkzLGYj2KdeqO9D9oliokz5yp4K-deK4_BSaQFl3uWS924uVN1PfMLCiWQMxUFGdsQ0NyWK5TTyUkOB2iI/s640/OneRoomChallengeCollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I thought I'd share a few sneak peeks to hold you over while I work on final touches. With seven days to go, here is what I have left to cross off the list.
