I dressed up our tea room/she shed last week. Here she is all dolled up for Halloween. Remember those thrift store frames I found last week? Here they are in all their creepy glory. The Ouija board was a garage sale find. I made the bottles and chalkboard frame a couple of years ago. Here's another look. Glad I got her all decorated because this past weekend is a blur between pumpkin picking... And getting...
~Book Reviews~
October 14, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
Once the cooler weather starts, I love to curl up on the couch under a blanket with a good book. This week I had two great books to read. It's not secret that I am a HUGE fan of Ikea. I love trolling Pinterest for IKEA hacks (seriously, don't you too?!). I Modify IKEA by Elyse Major and Charlotte Rivers offers a ton of ideas that I'd never seen before in easy to follow DIY...

Then when leaving comments, I choose Google account to leave a comment - like I've always done. But now I notice it's not saying your comment...
Creepy Scrabble Tile Holders
September 29, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
My Halloween projects are officially in full swing. This is a fun one. All you need is some black craft paint, Scrabble tiles, tile holders, Glue Dots, sand paper and some creepy embellishments. I started by painting each tile holder black. Once they were dry, I sanded off some of the paint in random areas for a more aged look. Then I broke out my Scrabble tiles to see what words I could spell. Once...
Friday's Thrifty Finds
September 28, 2016 / BY Okio B Designs
I know it's Wednesday, but wanted to share Friday's thrifty finds. I wasn't able to hit a lot of garage sales this summer, so I made up for lost time this past Friday. I found this great vintage scale, a variety of tart tins, a Mason jar and some ornate frames. I'm already searching for some creepy Halloween images to add to the frames. The entire lot cost me $5!
