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. ...
Quick Mother's Day Gift
May 03, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Yup, still rainy and chilly in our neck of the woods. Sigh! The upside is when you're trapped in the house all day, you get a jumpstart on some Mother's Day gifts: I made these little wood silhouettes of my boys for their Grandma today. I bought the wood pieces at Michael's and gave them a few coats of aqua paint. Then I took some profile shots of the boys. I printed them out on...

Feeling better and enjoying some gorgeous weather here today - yay! Didn't get much garage sale shopping in but we did start organizing stuff for our garage sale next month. While, cleaning up the garage, I found some bathroom tiles that we've had forever. I just can't seem to toss them. So I stared at them for awhile this morning and thought: wouldn't they make for some cute refrigerator magnets? So I made some! I bought this...
Kitchen Vignette

Guess who has strep throat now?! Thanks to my adorable 4 year old, I spent most of the day in bed. Yesterday I put together this quick vignette in the kitchen using the vintage Pilgrim crate I found at a garage sale last week. (Not sure if I'll get any sales in this weekend - boo hoo!) I am thinking of adding some colorful straws or vintage silverware to the mason jars. The little pitcher...
Petite Embellished Bottle
April 25, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I have to say embellished bottles seem to be my new favorite find on Pinterest. I admire the many different styles, fabrics and, well, embellishments that people come up with. I was feeling a bit inspired this morning so I made this petite Marie Antoinette bottle: These images are one of my first purchased off of Etsy. It was a full sheet of pure Marie love. I printed out the sheet and used a quarter...
