I'm obsessed. I finally picked up a can of Krylon's Looking Glass Spray Paint at my local Ace Hardware. All I can say is: I. Am. In. Love! I found a tutorial on Pinterest detailing how to make your own faux mercury glass-looking Mason jars, apothecary jars, glass bowls, etc. This guy was my first attempt. I have to say it was super easy to do. You simply do 2-3 sprays on your jar with...
Is it Fall or Winter?
October 05, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
The weather here has left me a bit confused. Last Tuesday, I had the air on because it was so hot and muggy. Come Thursday and we wanted to put the heat on - it was that cold! So it's no wonder my latest projects have been all over the place. I made some Ouija Board Halloween tags for my Etsy. That was when it was still warm out. Once it got cold, I made...

So this is the stool I picked up from the thrift store last week now... It's so petite and I was really excited to give it a fresh look. I first gave it a few coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey. I wanted to try the wax paper transfer method, but it was an epic fail. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I could not get the ink to transfer...

Autumn officially starts in two days, but it's in full swing in our house. I created a sweet vignette over the weekend using the old desk in our dining room. The printable is from Pinterest - in case you are interested in printing one out too. I hit my local thrift store on Friday where I scored the wood pumpkins and... ...this cute little stool and black candle holder. I also whipped up some...
