Here's what I did!

I know you all have been waiting anxiously to see what became of my watering can and one of my many empty baskets.
Well wait no longer. I loved Lisa's idea of using the basket to house my coffee supplies. Everything fits great in there and it just looks neat sitting by my coffee maker! AND it frees up some well needed space in my cupboard! Tell me what you think.


And then you all gave me some great ideas for my watering can. I decided on the fake flowers and thought that putting it in our bedroom would be perfect as we are doing it in a cottage style. I picked really bright flowers so they stand out against the blue walls. Tell me what you think. To much? Be honest. An interior decorator I am not!
You all are so helpful! It's like having a ton of friends right at my finger tips. How cool is that? I have the best bloggy friends in the blog world. Yes, I'm kissing up for the next time I need your advice!
BIG GIANORMOUS HUGS!

Don't forget to come back for Friday Funnies and my story about my very 1st cup of coffee.

  1. I think it looks great. I didn't think about the coffee part, 'cause we're not coffee drinkers. The flowers are bright and pretty.

  4. Great ideas on both! I love the watering can with the beautiful flowers in them. They pop against your blue walls...very refreshing.

    The coffee basket is a very good idea even though...I don't own a coffee maker or coffee but I could use it for other kitchen items.

    You did a great job and can't wait to see them IRL!

    ((hugs)) to you, my sweet friend!

  17. So smart with the coffee basket idea!

    I love the long greenery spilling out of your watering can. (Love the can too!)

  18. Looks great! The watering can looks just like I thought it would in my mind...super!
    Very creative with the coffee as well. I might add a bow, but then again I add bows to just about everything. I was crafting with my sister the other night and she said, "Stop with the bows, already!"
