Spring Cloche

February 23, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
According to my calculations, there are 24 more days until the official start of spring.  Good enough for me to start breaking out the spring and Easter decorations. I have two cloches that I switch out depending upon the season/holidays.  For Valentine's Day, I used my pink one but spring calls for this pretty robin's egg blue one. I actually keep this nest out all year.  It sits on a vintage typewriter in our corner...

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

February 22, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Country has come finally come home!  Yup, me and the hubby are ecstatic that New York has a new country music station.  The only other one we could get was from Connecticut and we could only hear it on the way to my parent's house.  Of course I had John Rich's Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy blaring in my minivan yesterday morning (I'm just too cool for words - lol!).  That inspired this quick tank...

Petite Salle de Bain (Bathroom) Sign

Is it me or is Blogger having issues again?  I keep getting error messages and holy moly, is anyone else receiving a lot of spam messages?  Thankfully, I have my comment settings set to approval because you cannot believe all of the spam I'm getting! Anywho, I had this little wood plaque sitting around for a few months.  I had painted it robin's egg blue and planned to use it for another project that never...

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 ...

Quick Cloche Change-Up

February 17, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
This little cloche cost me a couple of dollars at a garage sale over the summer.  I've dressed it up for Xmas and Valentine's Day and over the weekend, I gave it a simple spring touch. Yup, I just added a roll of twine. Then I made the butterfly tag with some French script and cardstock, and added it to a metal picture holder.  It fits perfectly in the middle of the twine. Super duper quick...

Bunny Peat Pots

February 15, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Saw this on Pinterest and thought it was the sweetest idea ever!  Bunny peat pots for Easter. First I painted my peat pots white.  One coat usually does the trick because you want a shabby look.  While they were drying I printed off my bunnies onto tissue paper.  One is from Etsy and the other is from The Graphics Fairy. Next you kind of rip the tissue paper to get as close to the image...
