How about some coffee-dyed clothes pins? I used their rub-on transfers for the numbers. I love, love, love how they came out. All you need is to soak some wood clothes pins in coffee (I used my husband's morning-old coffee). Let bake in the sun to dry and then add your numbers. The longer you soak; the darker the pins will be.
I'm a little obsessed with Dollar Tree's faux succulents. I used their flowers & garden planter, and loaded it up with faux moss and plants. Literally a DIY in under 5.
These wood boxes are probably my favorite. I flipped them over and painted them white (chalk paint works best). Once the paint was dry, I used more rub-on transfer numbers. Add some French script and you've got yourself some stackable art.
These are just a few of the projects I've been working on. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram (@okiobdesigns), where I post more often.

Now that it finally feels like spring here, the creative juices are flowing! I'm sharing some quickie projects I did over the last week or two - like this hanging colander planter. It's just the right size for these annuals. (You can find the chain holder at Dollar Tree.)
Who doesn't love a good before and after?! This metal candle holder was a thrift store find for 50 cents.
This old wood butcher block/cutting board was too big for my kitchen counter. Order up one quickie makeover, please.
Again, a few coats of spray paint and some rub-on transfers from Dollar Tree gave it a completely new look. I'm using it as a plant stand in my she-shed.
All of these were thrift store finds that only needed a little sprucing up!
