Many of us are going gaga for all things galvanized! I find myself drawn to these silver containers, big and small, shiny or dull. Galvanized buckets are no longer reserved just for the traditional farmhouse use or washing for the car! They are finding their way into our homes. Like a beautiful silver bracelet added to your outfit, these galvanized buckets bring the bling and subtle shine to décor. Let’s look at some ways we can use tin, aluminum, and galvanized containers.
Galvanized Buckets in Organization & Storage
Calm the clutter with buckets! Store your craft supplies or playroom toys neatly in labeled buckets for quick and easy access. Can you believe this drool worthy craft room makeover by Being Brook? Amazing!
My sister Beth from Home Stories A to Z organized all her craft supplies in adorable little pails hanging from pegboard! How cute it that?
Toss the toys in colored buckets for quick clean up.
Store towels stacked neatly in buckets or even throw blankets and toss pillows.
Galvanized Buckets in Serving & Entertaining
Consider using buckets at your next party for holding beverages and tableware.
Gather a few homemade items in a bucket for a simple and sweet hostess gift.
Garlic and Herb Dipping Oil Hostess Gift Pail
Dock party! Doesn’t everyone need a bucket load of glass floats?! Heehee! (You all know how much I adore glass floats!)
Galvanized Buckets in Flower Arranging & Gardening
I adore any plant in a pail. It adds a charm to the arrangement. The pails are very inexpensive compared to ceramic planters too! How to make a sphere topiary was a recent post using small buckets. Don’t you just love green and silver together?
Group together buckets of varying heights for added interest and fullness.
Fill smaller pails with petite arrangements to give as guest favors!
What a unique way to use galvanized buckets as window boxes!
Are you as gaga for galvanized as I am? How do you use buckets in decorating?

I am so in love with galvanized ANYTHING! I have it all over my house in some form or another. Love how you compared it to adding a beautiful silver bracelet. So true.
ReplyDeleteNice visiting with you.
Thanks Amy for stopping by and taking the time to comment too! I appreciate it!
DeleteThanks for the craft room shout out. I'm totally in love with buckets too. I've already bought a few for my front porch this summer and just used some in my pantry for storage.

Thanks! I'm finding my collection of buckets growing, and growing, and...
DeleteHi Kim, Thank you for the beautiful post! I am a Wedding Planner in California and I had bought 35 small galvanized pails for flower petals holders. The bride wanted her guests to toss the flower petals for the grand entrance. I had tied a darling creme ribbon on each pail. I love the idea of putting flowers in them for gifts. I will use some for Valentine's Day gifts! www.eventsbycori.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea for a wedding! I'm sure that was a magical moment for the bride.
DeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of vintage galvanized tubs. Planted tulip bulbs in one and it's in my garage waiting for spring!

That's always a great idea for early blooms! Our daffodils are already blooming here in VA! Crazy winter!
DeleteI too love galvanized tubs. I use one for my laundry basket. My dream use would be a large stock tank pool like this one http://bigbangstudio.blogspot.com/2010/06/desert-swim.html.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Fun stuff with the galvanzied buckets and tubs!! I have a few unique galvanized French looking things on my blog that I used in a tablescape...come on over to see. http://thestylesisters.blogspot.com/2012/02/little-french-tablescape.html

Thank you so much! I'll have to stop by!
DeleteA few pin worthy images! Some brilliant ideas. I think my favourite is the alternative to window boxes from BHG...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pins! :)
DeleteI too LOVE anything galvanized! I even have galvanized lanterns that I got awhile back from IKEA too. I can TOTALLY relate to this post as I also have a lot of galvanized buckets/containers in various shapes & sizes that I use for various things.
ReplyDeleteA girl after my own heart! :)
