one room challenge - week 6 aka the reveal!

Week six is finally here and I have crossed the finish line. Picture me squirting <strike>gin</strike> water all over my face. Wahoo!<br /><br />I've said it before but it should be said again - six weeks is not as long as it sounds and I was down to the wire on this project. It can be confirmed that I am a down to the minute girl.<br /><br />But enough jabbing, let's get to the pictures. I won't do much talking today (as hard as that is to believe), I'll just show the goods. Oh, with one note - this is a basement AKA - NO light. And no matter how many 'learn how to use your camera' tutorials I pin, I just don't have the patience. So be kind. A professional photographer I am not...obviously.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeSFkhWAs6xWx2bLR_j_KT_QvAnk53VyIxKGvZBdtuxNF-YDma3u1CFemQrWzL1L2vXqpehVFMsuQf1hnxBx4T_Fn_lz4GrAgWXbWxBy2wgZ-D13R-I5dYG8rXvKmPcTR5NkwECMmQMHS/s1600/basementbefore.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
