If you're like me, you stock up on tea towels when you go to the dollar store. I had a few lying around in my craft room and as luck would have it, I had some iron-on transfer paper too. Put two and two together and you get some cute new towels: I bought this image off of Etsy (popalicious, 99 cents!) over the weekend. I spied it on Pinterest (thanks Gina from Shabby Creek Designs!) and thought...
Upcycled Wooden Clam Tote
May 21, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I have a serious bone to pick with Mother Nature today. After a gorgeous weekend, we're back to, yup you guessed it, RAIN. :{ For me that means, painfully dark photos and no painting whatsoever. Boo! Thankfully, I did manage to get this quick project done before the skies opened: I bought this clam tote at the thrift store last week. I gave it a few coats of white paint. And I do mean a few...I ran...

Quite unique - never saw...

Petite Table Re-Do
May 17, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I really love this little table that I picked up thrifting last week. It was an ugly reddish-brown if you remember. Here it is now: I gave it a few coats of white spray paint and sanded the edges for an aged look. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to put in the middle. I was out of graphite paper so I decided to print this French crown image onto Avery label paper. I simply...
Paris Shadowbox
May 15, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Here is the first of the weekend projects that I was able to accomplish. I bought this little wood shadowbox from the Unique Thrift Stores last week. It was just a plain pine box. I decided to give it a French-y makeover: I gave it a couple of coats of white paint. While that was drying, I used some French script scrapbook paper for my background. Then I popped over to The Graphics Fairy and...
