simple style





Summer goes on and on in this part of the world. Surely this is the last of the hydrangeas.. It's nice to see them still flowering. 




I've been keeping an eye out for some metal tins and was lucky to be given these beauties from my mum's garage. Something I think I'd given to her a long time ago..


I pictured these with numbers stencilled on the front and had seen something like this on pinterest. The stencils I have didn't bend around the shape, so I drew them with pencil and painted them white with a small brush. The numbers could be printed out and traced onto the tins instead.






This little folding table is one I found on the side of the road. Painted white it looks a whole lot better and is useful inside and out with the revamped IKEA chair.

Hope you had a good weekend wherever in the world you are!

    Love the pretty stenciled buckets. I have a real thing for galvanised at the moment.

    Hydrangeas and galvanized buckets are one of my favorite looks. I had it for my wedding. The numbers and the lantern are great. Your photography and blog are just beautiful. Visiting from the Wow us Wednesday link party. Have a wonderful day! ~ Jamie

    I love this idea! I have some cheap galvanized metal painting buckets from Home Depot and some numbers and hydrangeas would be the perfect addition!
