Transformation Thursday: buckets of ideas

Welcome to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day a week we get together to celebrate getting stuff done. Whether this is your first week or you've been coming here for months, everyone is welcome to join in with MckLinky below!
This week I'm playing with buckets. I didn't do much to truly transform them, but I do love decorating with them. These little number buckets are on my kitchen window sill. Target "dollar spot" buckets with sticker numbers on each one. They may get a paint job soon, but will do just fine for the time being.
A worn, old galvanized pail holds magazines in my living room. This same pail has held croquet balls, Christmas ornaments and so many more things. She just keeps getting moved around!
And, if all else fails, stick some ice in a pretty pink bucket to hold drinks.

So.... whatcha got? Everyone is ready to see!
Make sure to put your PERMALINK into MckLinky
and please, please, PLEASE link back here so everyone can find the great ideas.
Let'er rip, tater chip!

Oh I love the buckets. I have a galvanized bucket like that one, I have never thought of putting mags in it, thanks so much for the idea.
What do you put in the green buckets?
Thanks so much for hosting!

Love those little green buckets. Can I ask where you got the number stickers? And the galvanized bucket is gorgeous.

Jessie,
I cut out the stickers from contact paper, after printing them on my printer.

For the galvanized bucket lovers - don't kill me.... it was FREE at the flea market last summer!

I love your buckets, especially the pretty pink one! We bought two big galvanized buckets to hold drinks for our Christmas party last year and I can't wait to use them for something this summer!

I love buckets attached to a piece of wood hung on the wall to hold markers and such! So cute. I wish I had that silver bucket to hold my magazines :o)

Your bucket full of magazines is very cute. I've been meaning to pick up a few at Lowe's to use here and there for cute storage and now I can invision them full of ice and drinks for our summer parties.
I'm new to your blog and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for hosting a linky party. They are a lot of fun! ☺ Celeste

You MADE the stickers from contact paper?!?!? GENIOUS! Thanks for sharing.

Diann said...

I love buckets! I redo them for everything. Love that pink one!

Katie said...

I have those same target buckets! Awesome! I bought them in every color and pattern available to use for gifts. I love the number idea. I also have a big tin bucket like yours. I think painting it and using it as waste basket might be a good idea. I used it as a plant pot so I may need to spray paint it in case it is rusted. Off to the garage to find it.

Joining your party today...thanks for hosting!

Great idea! I think I might try it. Just saw some cute ones at Hobby Lobby and I stood there looking at them thinking "What could I do with those...".
Do you still have the button/link for "Transformation Thursday somewhere?

I love the bucket with ice and drinks for an outdoor get-together, or really you could fill it with juice boxes for the kiddos for summer(when we can finally have warm weather again!) Great Idea :)

Reid said...
