Are you ready for some of my latest Dollar Tree makeovers?!  

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.
Here it is now after a few coats of white spray paint and the addition of my French script candles.
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!
