Super excited by this morning's Goodwill finds. The last few times I've gone, I've come out empty-handed. Not today! Excuse the photos. It's a dark, dreary, COLD day here yet again. Anywho, how cute is the little lantern? It was half price so it was 85 cents. The beeswax candle is getting tossed; I just wanted the little crate. The metal urn will be first up in the makeover department. I love this little flower...
Painted Mason Jars
April 21, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
You've probably seen these all over Pinterest. I, myself, have pinned them a few times. I love the look and since I always have a nice stash of Ball mason jars lying around, I figured I would make some too! I only have three ASCP colors: Old White, Louis Blue and Antoinette. Lucky for me they look gorgeous together! I only gave them a coat each of the chalk paint because I find it to...
Bucket o' Starfish
April 19, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Just a quick project. A small bucket of starfish for my beachy-themed porch. I used some decal paper to add my starfish images (from Etsy) to my bucket which I believe I got at Target a few summers ago. There are some sand dollars tucked in there as well. Dreaming of beachy weather. It's almost here! Total cost: $0 as I had everything I needed. I'm still have $90 left for my beach makeover budget. Jeanine ...
Pretty Spring Pitcher
April 17, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Remember I said I had another little Ikea pitcher that I was planning to jazz up? Here it is in all of its Spring glory - flowers and all! I used this great image from the Graphics Fairy and some more of my waterslide decal paper (buy it from eBay!). My daffodils were starting to tip over so I snipped the ones that were leaning on the ground and added them. Love the yellow with...
Porch Table ASCP Makeover
April 16, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Haven't had too much time for crafting/blogging over the last few days. My hubby's been in the hospital since Friday night. Sigh! I was able to makeover this little porch table Friday afternoon and take pics of it this morning. Here's the before: Yuck! Not even sure how to describe the previous color other than to say "U-G-L-Y, you don't need no alibi, you ugly!" And here it is after a few coats of ASCP...
I must have over 20 recipe books in my house. Sad part is, I hardly ever use them. Each book seems to be filled with recipes we ripped out of magazines, printed off the computer, etc. And now with Pinterest, I have a hundred or more recipes bookmarked on my computer. I needed an easier way to keep our favorite recipes handy without having to dig through piles of pages. I used some off-white cardstock to...
