DIY #1

We have cable...for the first time...ever. I. LOVE. HGTV. (Fine Print: Which may or may not have contributed to my getting seriously behind on blogging.) So now that the excitement of of being able to watch any home makeover/improvement show any time I want (did I mention that we have a DVR, too?!) has worn off a bit, I feel like it's time to finally pay attention to my creative side once again. :) Here are some of the first projects we did after moving to our new house:

Now that I have a "dedicated" scrap area (the open closet of the 3rd bedroom, which is also the office), I needed a table for said area. We took the above INGO dining table from Ikea...




Spray painted the legs black and stained the top to seal it...



And viola! a beautiful, new craft table that is functional and looks great!



Greg also made me some shelves for the inside of the closet (on both sides...see them in the picture of the table?). He made molding to hold them up (and so it would look pretty) - this was way beyond the call of duty but I am so glad he thought of it! Thank you Greg!

I LOVE the way the shelves look!

Hey, did you ever spraypaint anything when you were in Boise? Just wondering, because I didn't EVER do anything like that until I got to Olympia, so it's funny that you are doing it there, too! Well, not RIGHT in Olympia, but close.
