I'm doing my little Friday happy dance. The weather is gorgeous, the birds are singing and it's the end of what seemed like a long, long week! We have a busy weekend planned so wanted to share some random pieces that I've been working on. This candlestick I found at Goodwill earlier this week. I gave it a few coats of ASCP in Old White. It's kind of hard to tell but there is a...
Pretty Spring Pitcher
April 17, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Remember I said I had another little Ikea pitcher that I was planning to jazz up? Here it is in all of its Spring glory - flowers and all! I used this great image from the Graphics Fairy and some more of my waterslide decal paper (buy it from eBay!). My daffodils were starting to tip over so I snipped the ones that were leaning on the ground and added them. Love the yellow with...

It's making the rounds on Pinterest so be sure to download it when you can!...

I like the red and angels for the holidays but I like the sheep and Frenchy text...
My First Mod Podge Transfer
July 18, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I've been dying to try the Mod Podge transfer method for months now. I finally took the plunge last night using a pail duo that I got at Goodwill yesterday. First I painted over the floral pattern with white spray paint. Once that was dry, I used ASCP in Antoinette for a pretty, pale pink color. I printed off this great French grain image (be sure to mirror the image first) on plain white paper. ...
