Re: Galvinized container decorating

I love the look of aged galvanized containers, and the olive buckets from PB are TDF, IMHO!!

Thanks to the wonderful Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict, I was able to find something much cheaper:

Better Homes and Gardens Galvanized...

Better Homes & Gardens, from W M!! $9.88

Re: Galvinized container decorating

PB bucket is 20"x18", BH&G is 15.25"x11.5" I'm sacrificing a little in size for a lot of $$$!!

I'm planning on "aging" the buckets (I ordered 2) by using toilet bowl cleaner. Muratic acid is an option but a little scary for me.

Will place two boxwood plants in them for the deck this summer.

Fluffie, you beat me to it! The one from Decor Steals is a real, vintage olive basket. I have one and it is beautiful. I use it to store rolled up knitted throws to keep warm on winter nights.

I love this look whitelinen. Do you know if these are only online or in the stores too? I probably won't be able to get to walmart until the weekend to check for myself. Smart move, whitelinen-the same look for less.
