FOR A QUICK CHANGE IN THE KITCHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE MY COUNTER TOP UTENSILS FROM THEIR NORMAL CONTAINER, A CROCK AND PUT THEM IN A GALVANIZED OLIVE BUCKET AND PLACE MY MORNING TEA BAGS IN A VINTAGE FLOUR SIFTER. TO ADD A POP OF COLOR IM USING MY VINTAGE, MINTY GREEN ENAMELWARE BOWL BURSTING WITH FRESH ORANGES. MY NO COST KITCHEN STOAGE SOLUTION! 


Rustic Country Kitchen Using an Old Olive Bucket For Utensil Storage, and Old Flour Sifter to Store Tea Bags, and Enamelware Bowl for Oranges. Vintage Step Stool, Black and White Buffalo Check Napkins. White Cabinets and Stainless Steel AppliancesWhat is one to do when winter is at it’s coldest, the snow is piling up and the days are dark? I look around for something to change that won’t cost anything but will pass the time and make things feel fresh and new again. I chose to give the kitchen a good cleaning and swap out some of my countertop storage things for galvanized pieces. First to go was the large crock that holds all the utensils I decided to use a olive bucket I’ve had hanging around and never used then I located the vintage flour sifter in the basement and thought it would make for a good place to keep my morning tea bags and stevia packets. Have you noticed it does’t take a lot to make me happy? These ordinary changes make things feel fresh again to me. 

Black and White Buffalo Check Napkins, Potted Mint Plant, OrangesI’m still loving the vintage enamelware bowl that I used in my Christmas decor and thought it would look nice heaped with fresh oranges. I’m keeping my family eating them along with some herbs to ward off all the crud that’s going around. Everyone seems to have a horrible lingering color or the flu and I don’t want it nor have time for it and I’m sure the rest of my family is right along with me. So I’m pushing the fresh Vitamin C on everyone. 

The potted mint is a rescue from my summer garden. I decided to restart several of my herb plants inside just to see how long they’d survive the winter months indoors. So far everything is alive, I wouldn’t say they look the best but they are still green. The mint looks pretty straggly but it still smells amazing and tastes wonderful, so I’ll continue to care for it. I don’t have a green thumb when it comes to indoor plants so I’m pretty proud that my herbs are still producing.  

Kitchen Storage: Olive Bucket For Kitchen Utensils, Flour Sifter For Tea Bags, Enamelware Bowl For OrangesI think what I like best about funky storage things is anything can become a unique storage item. Things don’t have to be used for their intended purpose. Heck I’ve never sifted flour in my life but for some reason I have the beauty of a flour sifter stashed in my decor bins. If I had to take a guess I’m sure I picked it up because I’m in love with the color of it’s handle….that sounds like my mindset. 

Oh and the vintage step stool is a rescue from my step dads basement. I was excited when I found it, and he was more than happy for me to take it home and put it to use again. It’s used in my kitchen everyday, mostly in the panty but I couldn’t do without it and I’m not short but we apparently have extremely high storage in our home. 

Black and White Buffalo Check Napkins, Potted Mint Plant, OrangesSo what type of items do you like to use for storage? Anything that’s not made for traditional storage use? My goal is to not impulse by this year, I’m really wanting to make what I have work and just use it in different ways. Maybe every time I want something new I should come home and put the amount that it would cost to purchase that item aside and see how much it comes to at the end of the year. I bet I’d be amazed!

    I love “the galvanized look”! I am doing a women’s retreat and will be using this look with sunflowers!

    Love the bowl:). Good idea with the Vitamin C, just got my flu shot among others over the weekend. That’s what I’ve been doing, shopping my house and recreating what I have. I hope it does bring you a smile on gloomy days of Winter:).

    Dawn, I really like your olive bucket. Great idea just gathering items around your home that you already have. I do that myself. I pretty much think all things vintage, rusty , and metal make great storage containers. I am with you to just swap things out . Hopefully winter will be on its merry way soon.

    Hi Dawn, I love galvanized and metal containers too! I just used a big metal bin with an old weathered tray for all our vitamins and otc meds in our pantry! I also put cough drops in clear jelly jars with zinc lids, the kind that you just press on. I totally redid our pantry, I hung antique framed pictures, and old recipes in them in. Keep up the fun posts!

    I’ve used flour sifters as Easter baskets for my adult kids. Looked cute.
