Beachy Porch Reveal

May 02, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
I'm just about done with the finishing touches on our beachy porch theme.  I have a few more things to add like Dollar Store sand buckets, candle holder jars (with sand), citronella candle buckets and the anchor plaques.  Here we are as of today. We spend a lot of time on our porch swing.  I bought the cushion from The Christmas Tree Shops.  It's not included in my $100 budget as I bought it before I...

Spring Nest + Cutest Cupcake Toppers

February 18, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Remember that petite colander I picked up at TJ Maxx last week?  I turned it into a pretty spring nest: Just added some faux "grass," a petite Dollar Store nest and some scented robin's egg soaps. Yup, I'm ready for spring!  And how cute are these Easter cupcake toppers from Target?! Only $1 per pack.  Too adorable (and cheap!) to pass up! Happy President's Day everyone! Jeanine ...

Target Wire Basket

September 19, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I popped into Target this morning because my 7 year old needed a new lunchbox.  Yup, only 3 weeks into the school year and the zipper on his first one broke already.  Doh!  I love going down the bargain aisle while I'm there.  Today I found this cute little wire basket for $2.50. I've been wanting a small basket for our counter top.  I added some Decor Steals French dish towels I ordered a few...

Goodwill Finds

July 31, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Today is my mom's birthday so I treated her to her local Goodwill this morning.  Of course, she picked out one thing while I, on the otherhand, went a little crazy: The Target shelves will look great in my 7 year old's room.  I never pass up faux eggs and vase fillers (also from Target).  The little frames were a steal!  I will be adding those to my Etsy shop once I add the perfect...

Privet House for Target

May 12, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Have you seen the new Privet House for Target line yet?  I had never heard of Privet House, but I was intrigued enough to look for them in my local Target. I was pleasantly surprised!  On Friday, I picked up four of these wonderful placemats.  I also couldn't resist the ceramic cheese plate.  I was a little surprised to see though that it was Made in China.  Hmmmm...not quite an American artisan collection now is it?...

Two Little Lovebirds

December 27, 2011 / BY Okio B Designs
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  I can't believe how fast it came and went.  Today was so dreary here that me and the kids actually started taking some decorations down.  Then we hit Target for some lights for next year.  Somehow I came home with two of these pretties: Yup, Target already has some Valentine's Day items out.  So of course that made me start working on a Valentine's Day windowsill for the kitchen. The pink...

Christmas Tablescape

December 20, 2011 / BY Okio B Designs
Pull up a chair! We'll be hosting a small Christmas eve gathering this year and here's what I'm thinking our table will look like.  This is the first year I'm getting to use these Christmas plates that I got at Home Goods last year: I love a plaid tablecloth for Christmas and I got this one at Target.  The rooster plates are from Kmart. The big ornaments are from a local nursery called Hicks.  I bought...
