I've just finished some projects that I thought I would show y'all . . . hence the title Shameless Project Showoff ;)
I just did a card exchange with the girls in my family. This is the one I did. Simple, but cute.
I picked up this little box at Hobby Lobby at their 90% off Christmas clearance. But I didn't have much use for it as a Christmas box.
So I turned it into this. Added some ball feet, gave it a coat of white and some brown glaze. I like the way it turned out. 
And now my two-month long project. I got this little sewing table off Craigslist from an older woman that was storing it in her horse barn. It had been her friend's mother's table. And when she passed away, she didn't know what to do with it. So I took it off her hands. 
I removed the old sewing hardware. Gave it a good cleaning and sanding. Then added a coat of heirloom white paint. And finally a good distressing. Now I just need to find the perfect spot for it . . . 
Joy over at Joys of Home helped me A LOT with this last project. Thank you Joy! You seriously are the best. And Meliessa at 320 Sycamore and Jen at Sactuary Arts at Home also gave me a few pointers along the way. You girls are awesome! Now on to my next projects . . .

p.s. I have a yard sale coffee table I want to do the same thing to. I'm a bit intimidated. I may need some of your fab pointers!
Girl you hit that one out of the ball park! I just came over to get a better look from 320 Sycamore and you SHOULD brag on a project like that. Really wonderful job. I look forward to visiting more!
I have had a tray like that just sitting in my basement waiting for something special! WHY didn't I think of ball feet! The table and the tray are gorgeous!!
Your projects look amazing, I love what you did with the tray, I'm not sure I would have been able to see the potential in the before! I love the desk too, now I want to go hand out at the DI for the perfect desk!
Karen - that looks awesome! Great job!
very impressed, Karyn. Way to go. These are the kinds of things I am always wanting to do...I just can't imagine that cute white box when I look at the xmas box. You are very creative.
Those are fantastic makeovers, you've really got a great eye for trash to treasure! Don't ya just love Heirloom White?
very nice makeover indeed!
Hi Karyn,
What fabulous makeovers! :o) I hope this is not too silly of a question, but did you make the green balls? From the look of it, they are short dark green moss. I would love to make some, just not real sure how. :o)
Have a nice day!
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
Love your box and your made-over table-just gorgeous! Your table top arrangement looks just wonderful, I may need to copy it. ;)
Those makeovers look awesome! Great job!

Gosh, what great projects!! I think I've fallen in love with your tray makeover. So so nice!
WOW! I am so impressed!!! I thought I was handy at fixing things up, but MAN! You did an amazing job with that table. It looks so so so so good! I love fixing up old things. I go to D.I. every now and then and see what I can find to re-do. It is fun. Oh and I love that christmas box. It is great. Good work.
Love the makeover inspiration--that sewing table looks great!
:D
from true junk - to BEAUTY. Really lovely!
