I picked up a few Xmas ornaments over the weekend at our local Dollar store. They are super cute and glittery, but definitely missing a little something-something. I can't make a paper snowflake to save my life so I immediately grabbed a three-pack of these glitter snowflakes. I printed out some religious images onto label paper to start. The images are super small which was ideal for this project because the middle of each snowflake...
Makeshift Mantle
December 01, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Sadly, we do not have a mantle in our home. Every Xmas I wish we did. Since we don't, I have to create a makeshift mantle of sorts out of the corner cabinet in our dining room. I dress up the top of each year as if it were a mantle. This year, I have a bunch of jars with bottle brush trees, a cloche, an apothecary jar filled with decorated matchboxes and this bird cage...
I survived Thanksgiving! Hope you did too! Our Xmas decorations are in full swing now given that according to my 6 year old, there are 26 more days til Xmas. This was a Pinspiration. I found something similar on Pinterest but now I can't for the life of me find the pin to show you. I believe the pinner used metal letters to create their banner. Mine are wood (from A.C.

Since the theme of the day seems to be snow, I thought I'd share some of my wintery snow globes and Christmas cloches. I have these all about the house this year. This one is housing a glittery church ornament I picked up at Walmart. No, that is...

Petite Christmas Vignette
November 22, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
I love dressing up this vintage school desk we have in our diningroom. Of course, 'tis the season for some Christmas touches. I did a Pottery Barn knock-off with the noel letters. I've been wanting to do it for literally two years. I finally remembered to pick up the letters during my last trip to A.C. Moore. The snowman and reindeer are from Home Goods. I made the framed holiday sheet music using a graphic...
