welcome to a regular sight in our *hallway-of-ongoing-projects*...
coastal farmhouse inspiration people...
fresh...white...simple...french inspired...with a little industrial hit...
i've gathered many treasured old *chippy-picked-up-in-french-brocnate-on-holidays-zinc*
buckets, since moving abroad from Oz...
they are all gathered, potted with herbs & flowers at our front door...
these are a little take on them- but clean & new & great for the kitchen...& cheap!
£1 each at an english supermarket -in the seasonal isle- i love that - an isle that changes with the
seasons...i guess these were autumnal ??
i've no idea but at a pound a pop i grabbed the lot....
i smiled throwing these in my trolley- there's only so many buckets a girl can justify you know... :)
but i had halloween in mind...i had my french humber stencils in mind...& i knew i could hide the pile
inside one another- should anyone want to discuss my problem with buying endless things we don't
i seriously don't know why i even try to pretend - as this is what everyone came home to...
some more very cool looking buckets - french inspired with a good dash of industrial...
"so ....really just buckets with a melissa-ism title" grinned the hubster...
& your problem with that is??
you see- the radiator there works well with my kinda crafting...
it works quite simply like this...
grab bucket
stick on stencil whilst shaking the c*** outa the spray on paint
spray bucket & stick in front of radiator
spray anything else that needs doing at same time
line everything up in front of radiator alongside *almost dry cool looking buckets*
peg up stencils
vow to put it all away bf school pick-up
get doing other stuff
forget
walk in on organised creative chaos....
sounding familiar???
and....they came in black... chalkboard black....
& i do love me some chalkboard...
& they were only a pound a pop...
toooo cool!
obviously...we needed somewhere for our chalk....
love love love
the creative fix is instant & sooo good- i can't recommend them enough...
gorgeous for holding drinks in the garden in the summer...
perfect for gathering in the winter as i did {here} with little miss.a...
great for sitting round the kitchen making you feel like a creative diva...
something has to be said for embracing both the authentic, memory laden collecting of wonderful old
treasures...& the making of new, with a similar twist...
i don't care how the kids enjoy these...
halloween sweet buckets...in the garden collecting dirt...down the road {cockle collecting}...
all i know is i loooove them...
french number stencils from {here}
happy thursday gals
