Have you been bitten by the olive bucket bug yet?
You know those buckets with their weathered finish and rusty crusty handles
and lots of charming details with all the little slots that cover them
You can find them at flea markets and antique shops or even online
at stores like Soft Surroundings which is where this one came from
and you can use them for so many things in so many places
Perfect for filling with oranges in the kitchen
magazines next to the sofa
magazines next to the sofa
or using for storage on an armoire
For setting a spindly little olive tree inside
or firewood by the fireplace.
Love it for a mixed bouquet of roses and alstroemeria

Love the mix of that rustic weathered finish and the delicate flowers
These photos are from a few weeks ago~ so the roses have since dried
but that alstroemeria is blooming beautifully yet!

Since these buckets are slotted and won’t hold water
you can simply set a vase filled with flowers inside the bucket

and place it on a bench or the floor or even on the porch
for a simple charming vignette.

A trio of them can be used for storage on an armoire

I have two of those and just love them! I love weathered metal and they are SO useful!
The rustic yet beautiful and the delicate together…the shades of pink with the blue is lovely.
Divine basket very nicely decorated with flower bouqet. Love the contrast of rustic basket and delicate flowers. Renata
The colors of your beautiful flowers looks so good against the color of the olive bucket, Courtney!
It is beautiful, I am hoping to get one in Tuscany this year when I visit.
Dear Courtney,

Courtney, I think you're having way too much fun playing in your new little cottage. I need to come play in there too. Love the olive bucket, and love your gorgeous roses. laurie
It's the 1st olive basket I see like this. My ex had an olive grove and I've come with him to the olive picking and the basket were as any other basket, made from vegetable fibers. And we're the 1st producing country of olive oil…
I forgot to comment on the gorgeous roses
XOXO

Yes, I love them and own a nice old Turkish one, which is placed in my kitchen on the floor, next to the hutch, holding a plant.
I forgot to add that those flowers look beautiful in the basket!
I don't have an olive galvanised basket but do like the looks,i see them everywhere now in magazines and our one local antique mall,they looks good with anything in them,from flowers to rugs and towels rolled up in them
I have one of those too – finally! I gave in when Decor Steals offered them the second or third time. I love it and am looking forward to incorporating it into some photo shoots this summer.
Love all the ways you style the olive bucket…looks fantastic at the base of the ladder with those gorgeous flowers!
Love them too! I need to get one 😉 Gorgeous styling!
