It's quite the rainy, dreary day here. Perfect for sharing some Halloween decorations that I've put up so far. Won't you come in... I've been wanting to do this mice look for two years. I bought some of the cut-outs from the Dollar Store and the others I did with my Cricut. The boys love how they seem to be leading up to the 5 year olds room. This shelf is by our front door. ...
Pick Your Poison
September 27, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Remember this bottle carrier I picked up at Goodwill a few weeks ago?! I gave it a spooky twist earlier this week. The creepy labels are actually from the Martha Stewart Living special edition Halloween issue. Just scan them to your printer and print out. I did mine on label paper, so I only had to cut, peel and stick. The striped straws are from Etsy. I just love them! I picked up the pencils...
White Wednesday
September 25, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
Sometimes I like to keep it simple. I bought some ceramic pumpkins from the Dollar Store last year. The colors were a bit drab, so I painted two of them white last weekend and love them now! I put one ontop of a vintage desk and this one I added to an upcycled Goodwill cloche that sits on my kitchen counter. I added the word fall to a coffee baked tag. I love the simplicity!...
Spooky Soaps

Here's a really easy DIY project for Halloween. I like to add decorations all over my house for any holiday, but the bathroom always presents something of a challenge. So I made some quick Halloween soaps to add to our soap dish. All you need is some glycerin soap (I used black), paper, a printer and of course some fabulous images from The Graphics Fairy. I used a vintage dictionary page with a skull, a...
Updated Estate Sale Frame
September 20, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I found this frame at an estate sale a couple of months ago. At first, I was going to paint it white but the blue hue kind of grew on me. It's kind of a weird, long size so I wasn't sure what to do with it. Finally, I decided to make it into a chalkboard frame. I attached some self-sticking chalkboard paper to a cardboard insert. I simply slipped it in the slots. There...
Target Wire Basket

I popped into Target this morning because my 7 year old needed a new lunchbox. Yup, only 3 weeks into the school year and the zipper on his first one broke already. Doh! I love going down the bargain aisle while I'm there. Today I found this cute little wire basket for $2.50. I've been wanting a small basket for our counter top. I added some Decor Steals French dish towels I ordered a few...
