Inspired by organizer Aby Garvey's love of buckets - and organizer Suzanne Babb's enthusiasm, and Jennifer & Kitty O'Neil's endorsement - I decided to see what was available, beyond the basics.
Aby and Suzanne both pointed me to the wonderful Good Pails to Have, which you can also see on Etsy - that's one of theirs above. But there are other options.
Bucket Outlet has solid color pails in a range of colors, holiday-themed pails, and other decorated pails. [via Apartment Therapy]
Here are some more solid color buckets, from the U.K.
The MacBeth Collection has buckets in a range of sizes and patterns.
Some buckets announce their purpose.
And some are intended for a specific purpose - such as this bird seed bucket - but could certainly be used in other ways.
You could get honey in a pail, and then use the pail for other things when the honey was gone.
It's not surprising that there are some decorated pails over on Etsy. This one comes from cupcakes4breakfast.
And this one comes form Etsy seller brodyandma.
For something totally different, how about a John Deere pail?
You can get pails with the logo of your favorite sports team; for those who don't recognize it, this one is the Florida Gators.
And let's end with this one and a smile.

Great post, Jeri! Glad I helped inspire your bucket quest. ;) Pottery Barn has some fun, new fabric decoupaged buckets, too.
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to come across any small, square galvanized containers in your search? I know someone who is looking for some about 4" square. I couldn't find any...but thought maybe you did.
Thanks, Jeri! It was so fun meeting you in Reno, by the way!

Aby, it was great to meet you, too!
ReplyDeleteI thought Pottery Barn had some buckets, but I don't see them on their web site.
Amazon lists some small square galvanized containers, but there's no photo, which is very irritating. But Areo has some, too, and they do have pictures.
