White Wednesday

August 07, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Just some quickie makeovers for White Wednesday. Drawing inspiration from Petite Michelle Louise, I turned an ordinary ceramic canister (from AmVets) into a Frenchie piece.   I simply printed off the image onto label paper, peeled and stuck!  Super duper easy.  What's nice is, when I get bored with that image, I can just stick on another one.   This little flower frog I picked up at a garage sale over the weekend.  It was...

White Wednesday: French Wood Drawer

December 19, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I picked up this little wood drawer at the thrift store last week.  Luckily, it was mild enough yesterday to get some spray painting done.  I gave it a few coats of white spray paint, sanded and then added some Frenchy touches: First is this little file tag.  It comes pre-packaged with several self-sticking tags and inserts for things like Family Photos, 2012, etc.  I cut out some French poetry book paper instead and added that....

I picked up this little table a week ago from a garage sale.  I gave it a quick makeover using some Annie Sloan chalk paint and a French graphic I bought from Etsy some time ago. I gave it two coats of ASCP on Sunday when it was semi-warm out.  Yesterday morning, I took my reversed image and Mod Podged it to the top.  Eight hours later, I used a wet paper towel to remove...

La Fabuleux Tea Room Sign

I'm not really sure what La Fabuleux means in French (note to self: Google it!) but whatever it means, I used it on this wood sign for my tea room: I had one sheet of graphite paper left and since it was raining on and off all day yesterday, I decided to use it for this little sign. I bought this image off of Etsy a year or so ago and I simply love it. ...

White Wednesday

It's my favorite time of the week: White Wednesday (even if it is only Tuesday)!  This tray was a garage sale find from last year and since I left it out over the summer, it got a little, um, dirty.  So over the weekend I gave it a fresh coat of white paint: Since I'm keeping it indoors this year, I wanted to give it a Frenchy touch, so I printed out this great image...

Clay Pots

March 20, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Well hello Spring!  So happy you have finally arrived.  And what better way to celebrate the first day of this lovely season then with some mini clay pots: I had painted these an aqua blue a couple of years ago but I decided I might like white a little better.  I gave each a few coats of spray paint and then added some Frenchy touches.  For the first one, I used a Paris sticker and...
