Remember the little hand mirror I picked up at Goodwill that was missing the mirror? Well, here it is now. I wanted to use a Victorian image for it and found this perfect one from The Graphics Fairy. I printed it out onto cardstock and then carefully measured it so it would fit into the mirror. I used some silver glitter around the inside edges and added some rhinestones and faux pearls to each lady...
Goodwill Finds
April 23, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Super excited by this morning's Goodwill finds. The last few times I've gone, I've come out empty-handed. Not today! Excuse the photos. It's a dark, dreary, COLD day here yet again. Anywho, how cute is the little lantern? It was half price so it was 85 cents. The beeswax candle is getting tossed; I just wanted the little crate. The metal urn will be first up in the makeover department. I love this little flower...
Upcycled Urn for Easter
February 26, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
There is this marvelous photo floating around Pinterest of an Easter nest in an urn. Perhaps, you've seen it? I was so excited because I had all of the components I needed for a quick copycat. I got this little urn a few weeks ago at Goodwill. It's the perfect size to add a little nest. It could probably use a few coats of paint but I do like the chippy look. I added some faux...
Upcycled Goodwill Frames

I picked up these petite ornate frames at our new Goodwill on Monday. They measure about 5" for the big one and 3" for the little one. They were a little tarnished but I recognized the potential and snatched them up for about $6 for both. Here is the before. Don't you love the detailing?! And here they are after a couple of coats of spray paint (yes, I braved the cold just so I...
Goodwill Finds

I was super excited to find out that a brand new Goodwill opened up just 2 minutes from my house! The ribbon-cutting was on Wednesday, and I popped in on Thursday. It was nice and clean but way too early for any real treasures. A lot of Target cast-offs but I did manage to find this sweet pedestal bowl: Not sure if you can see the etching on the sides. I couldn't get a really...
Retail Therapy
January 23, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Brrrrr...it's quite freezing here. On days like this, I like to do a little online shopping since I'm not a big fan of braving the cold. I'm still sticking with my new year's resolution of not buying stuff we don't need. However, since I play Santa each year, these were some post Xmas gifts I bought for myself. Don't you love this little metal mail pouch from Farmhouse Decor Shop?! For now I have it hanging in the...
