Okio B Designs

A craft, food, fashion, home & shopping blog

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen some of these outfits before. But did you know most of everything I share is from Target, Walmart, Amazon and JCPenney?!

And did you know you can "shop my closet" using the LiketoKnow.It app/website (or click on "shop my closet")?

I'm going to be 50 in September. Yes, 50. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop being stylish. Sure, bikinis are out for me, but I can still pull off a cute sundress or shorts.

I'm going to embrace my 50s more than I embraced my 30s or 40s probably because there really is a sense of freedom that comes with age.

Who knows how much longer I'll belong to the LiketoKnow.it community, but I'm going to continue to be me and dress how I want to!

Who's with me?!

P.S. Find all the outfit details at LiketoKnow.it/okiobdesigns.

I can't believe I haven't shared this thrifty makeover yet! I'd been trying to find a wood toolbox for months now. I finally hit the jackpot a couple of weeks ago. This is the after ^.

Here is the before. Yes, it came complete with tons of nails. Yikes! I gave it a few coats of white chalk paint and then did my usual sanding in random spots. I finished it up with the wood embellishment - which I painted black. We're using it on our patio table to hold flowers and holiday decor.

Unfortunately I didn't take a before picture of this picnic basket. Believe me when I say it was your standard boring picnic basket. I gave this one a few coats of white spray paint as the chalk paint was just not cooperating.

I kept it simple and just added a vintage hotel room keyring with some tea-stained seam binding.

I have a few more projects in the works. We're waiting on Tropical Storm Elsa to come and go. Fingers crossed we don't lose power. Again.

Have you seen these metal Mason jar cutouts at your local Dollar Tree?! Here's a quick way to dress them up: head on over to Pinterest and search up Shanty2Chic's kitchen conversions free printable. I printed mine out on cardstock and used magnets to attach it to my Mason jar.

Literally a DIY in under 5! And by using the magnets, you can switch out your image depending upon your mood.

Happy Father's Day!!!!

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.

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy Memorial Day weekend.
