Creative Containers for Your Home

my husband jokes about my love for containers, he says that i have containers for containers! yes, he is probably right but, i can’t help this obsession.  so, when it comes to containers, i do try and think outside the box.  i like to choose containers that don’t necessarily fit the norm and that is what gives our home some character! so have fun with it and starting hunting for those amazing containers that will accent your home while they are helping you organize your things!

stay tuned to this weeks posts:

sunday ~ my favorite fruit pavlova recipe that’s perfect for summer

i found this at a boutique store that was going out of business.  i’m not sure what it suppose to used for, maybe it’s a pot for a plant?  hmm… we’ll i’ve been looking for a container for our mail and keys.  i’ve tried a ton of various baskets and when i saw this container, i thought it would be perfect. and it would add a little sparkle to our kitchen.

it feel a little naked, so i added the chocolate bow to pick up the color in my mocha color cabinets. also, the bow just added a little warmth to it’s cold exterior!

my husband wanted me to find a storage solution for all his wine and i really didn’t care for the standard wine racks,since they can take up so much space. so i decided to get out all my baskets and try storing the wine in them. also, i found that these baskets fit perfectly under our dining room cabinets.  

i love how they look under the hutch and they also are out of the way and still readily available during a dinner party! the basket also add a nice napa style feel to the room!

one of my passions is to peruse thrift shops, i’m sure my kiddos think that i’ve lost it. well, there are great treasures to be found at this fun second hand shops.  i found this little garden pot at our local thrift shop, i think it came out to be a whopping $7 purchase. i have been looking for a container to put all our garden gloves in. it is the perfect organizer for our garden and it looks pretty outdoors!

i snapped this photo without my daughter knowing! she is picking out her gloves so that she can work out in our garden while i work on this blog post. so, i better shove off and go help my wonderful kids! glad you stopped by, and please subscribe to my blog via email… thanks so much!
