this afternoon it felt good to kick off the flip flops,
put the terrible two year old down for a nap,
and dig into a project.
a.super.easy.project.
(supplies: foam, primer, spray paint, fabric, pom pom trim and a 5 gallon bucket)
let me tell you,
this project was one of my top favorite homemade projects.
and i can guarantee…there will be a lot more modified buckets to come.
(our ideas for these handy seat/storage containers are overflowing)
we will be keeping this pretty one in the back of the van.
i plan to load it with brand new coloring books,
colored pencils, a puzzle, a few toys, maybe even a small blanket.
then, we can pull it out to watch the cousin’s baseball games
or steal a few things from it when we make an impromptu visit to a restaurant.
trust me….this baby will come in handy!
i love it when a project turns out better than i had hoped!
and i really love it when i’m inspired by another’s project or idea.
so, it was a super good day when the people at blogfrog told me about Home Made Simple.
it’s a website full of helpful tips, recipes, organizing, crafts….
i feel like it’s my favorite magazine plastered on the computer.

Hi. I was wondering how to access your tutorial for the 5-gallon bucket seats. I am wanting to make them for my Montessori classroom, but I have been unsuccessful in locating the how-to instructions. Please help! 🙂
