Caught up!
Don't know why some of these next ones are turned sideways, but I can't fix it...

DIY #2
What is that on the walls/peeling off the walls, you ask? Why, it's butcher paper, of course! Someone thought it would be a good idea to glue butcher paper to the walls and call it wall paper. I know we live in the NW, but this is taking recycling a bit too far! Come to find out, this was done on an episode of trading spaces (this makes me question my devotion to HGTV!), and the homeowner thought it was neat.
So, I spent the better part of 2 days doing this... And Greg spent the better part of 2 days sanding, texturing and painting so that it would look like this...
Much better. We didn't want to have to paint above the chair rail (which will be painted white at some point) so we chose a color that coordinated with the existing yellow. The paint color is Belgium Sweet, and we are happy with the way it turned out.
DIY #1
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!

3 New Layouts
Heart Books
Each book has 6 pictures and 6 little notes about what I love about them. Both of their favorite pages are the silly ones where they are wearing diapers on their heads. :)
