HOW TO DECORATE WITH BUCKETS
The best advice I ever got (which applies to almost every situation in my life) was- don’t overthink it. And that, my friends, is the secret sauce to decorating with metal buckets.Â
Overthinking leads to indecision, but a metal pail is the perfect solution for last-minute fall (or any seasonal) decor.
So grab a classic metal bucket and let’s go! Home Depot has galvanized buckets!Â
                       And it all started with a messy house (and a messy pony) and leftover, floral stems.
THE SECRET TO DECORATING WITH BUCKETS
Simple-right. Yep, I had these older, orange berry stems from yesteryear. I used these stems in my tall floral arrangements.
And as I as previewed my fall lineup of stems and these metal pails I revisited this image and loved it.
It was just so simple.Â
BUCKETS AND STEMS
STEPS
- This year s I sorted through my weathered metal buckets
- Years ago, I sent through a metal basket phase. It was the year of shiplap
- I just dropped stems in an old painted bucket.
It was the most beautiful union of the metal bucket and floral stems.
And it was so simple. So I did it again.
TIP
I used this tip on some of my floral stems
and shared a video on my Youtube channel, but for most of the floral stems it was fun to let them fall where they may.
You know all the stuff at the bottom of your seasonal bins? The faux leaves that have lost their stems or the year you went crazy for fake mums?
Those work great for decorating with buckets!
Decorating with buckets is like shopping at JCrew Factory.
It’s the preppy, pulled together look with just enough no effort look to be trendy.
Would love for you to pin for reference.
Now if only there was a way to throw our laundry into a bucket and call it decor?
