This is an upcycle of a previous upcycle. I've had these bottles for a few years and the last batch of stickers I had on them peeled off. That was okay with me as I like to change things up every few months. I made these labels using these great vintage French images from the Graphics Fairy. I printed them onto label paper, cut and stick. Super simple! Add a piece of twine and done!...
Target Wood Letters
June 01, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
Have you seen the wood letters Target added to their craft section? I picked up a "B" and ampersand last week with the plan of adding them to our picture wall. But first I had to spruce them up a bit. I gave each a few coats of black spray paint. Then I broke out a power sander. Yes, I actually used a power tool when my husband was at work. There is a first...
Waiting on a Little Inspiration

Meh! I'm in a bit of a crafting slump. Nothing seems to be calling to me lately. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have my first "summer" cold. Seriously, I'm sitting here wondering: where did my craft mojo go????? Jeanine ...
Alice Peat Pots

I was tinkering with some peat pots over the weekend. I had already given them a fresh coat of paint but I was struggling with what I wanted to put on them. I found these cute Alice in Wonderland images on Pinterest. I thought they'd be perfect to dress up my pots. I also added some vintage lace to each one, faux Dollar Store moss and little trinkets here and there. This one has a...
Mother's Day Randomness
May 11, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day! I got to do exactly what I wanted to: relax, craft and order in Chinese food. It was a beautiful day and I was able to upcycle some of my recent thrift store finds - like this book stack. And candle holder. I got to watch my boys play outside and husband plant our vegetable garden. Our pool isn't open yet, but I certainly would have dipped my...
Friday's Thrifty Finds
May 08, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
Took a quick trip to our local thrift store today and scored a few goodies. I was so excited to see the vintage sheet music. It's been awhile since I've been able to stock up. I think this is a vintage juicer of sorts?! Correct me if I'm wrong. I couldn't pass up the Christmas book. It has so many wonderful vintage images inside. I've already ripped the covers off these books for another book...
