5 things in 5 days reveal

I took the 5 things in 5 days challenge. (It was 10 things in 10 days but I came to the party late:)

And, of course, I have been working on about 7 more projects at the same time.

I am loving having time to work on things for my home. I've been pretty busy with work and my family activities over the school year. It is so nice to have time to think about what I want to accomplish at home now too.

So, my original goals were to:

1. Finish the peg board sewing organizer! (My first diy project of the summer) DONE!

2. Organize sewing desk and get the rest of my room cleaned up (its too trashed for words right now) DONE!

3. Chalkboard paint the back of the front door. Add frame. (I am forgetful and hope this will help!) (Have to find a big frame too!) (So, I am rethinking this one. I am not sure if what I envsion would be cute enough)

4. Sew 2 skirts for my daughter on newly organized sewing desk:) (in process)

5. Closet makeover. (in process- a WAY bigger job than I originally anticipated)

I added making these darling apothecary jars that I saw online at the Drab to Fab blog. They went from this...

to this....

I have an idea in mind for our entryway using these on the newly repainted sofa table that I use as a family organizer. But so far, it is just a place for everyone to dump their crud as they enter the house. It makes the rest of that area feel really small and cramped and it always looks messy.

And I added painting our hutch bottom and sofa table to the mix) I still need to stain the top of the table in the picture like a dark walnut, but that is all, really.

And finally, finally, finally, it is going to be summery around here soon! We have had cloudy cold overcast skies for a few days. Tomorrow it is supposed to be nearly 80 degrees and nearing the end of the week nearly 90! Yahoooooo!

Ok, off to make dinner and then paint some more!
