Little French Wooden Caddy

This adorable little wooden French caddy finally got a little paint.

Caddy sitting on top of a dresser.

I was painting the little kid’s table on the weekend and I thought, I might as well paint this little French wooden caddy.

It’s been sitting around for nearly a year!

I have had this wooden caddy kit sitting around since I went to Haven last summer. It was a welcome gift from Home Depot.

Wooden caddy kit in wrapping.

So I got out the Fusion Mineral Paint again and painted it with Algonquin.

I had these paper stencils on hand so I just did a quick French stencil.

 I want to paint more of them!

So silly of me, I waited almost a whole year to open this and put it together.

Caddy with magazines in it.

Flowers in a little silver vase on top of dresser.

I’m totally obsessed with French and vintage items if you’ haven’t noticed.

I thought Algonquin would be too beige but I really love the color.

It’s the perfect little French wooden caddy to add anything to.

In case you are wondering, here are a sampling of just some of the paint colors from Fusion Mineral Paints.

The paint goes on like silk! I’m obsessed with it now.

Happy painting!

    I love this! It would be so perfect for tucking books or papers you need to deal with into, but so much more design and flair than a cardboard or metal magazine or file holder! I am pinning this and sharing it over at G+ and FB! Hugs! Chloe

They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
