    Decorating with Vintage Olive Buckets

    In my many outings to flea markets, antique stores, and vintage shops I had yet to come across a vintage olive bucket. That is until a day after I read the newest Country Living with gorgeous pictures of vintage olive buckets when lo and behold….

    Home Emporium had received a large shipment of vintage olive buckets!  There’s just something about the style and patina of these olive buckets that I love and there are so many places in my home that I can see using them – most likely it will find its spot by my fireplace like in my inspiration picture but I’ve also found lots of other great ideas for how to use it. For the holidays, they make perfect decorative containers for filling with greenery, birch branches, and pinecones:

    {The Polohouse}

    and they are a great size for holding a tabletop Christmas tree:

    Olive buckets can also be used to hold other types of plantings year round:

    or even be your home office trash.

    Home Emporium’s vintage olive buckets are reasonably priced at $39 but not everyone has a Home Emporium nearby (see this previous post on Home Emporium for more info on this store and its locations). I’ve got a few other sources of vintage olive buckets besides flea markets and antique stores to share (includes affiliate links, full disclosure statement available {here}). One option is Pottery Barn which sells one {here}


    Another alternative is to find one on Etsy where you can find several options for vintage olive buckets {here}. 

    Which of these decorating ideas for olive buckets is your favorite?
