As a kid, money was scarce in our household
so we recycled anything and everything. My Nan
used to save her old tea caddies and then we would use
them as planters for our pots of herbs and place them
on the window sill in the kitchen behind the sink.
Back then, I did not appreciate the merits of recycling.
Today, however, this look would sit very happily in a number
of homes decorated in the style of cottage,
modern country or shabby chic...
and I love it!
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteThanks Fifi. Appreciate your lovely comments xx
ReplyDeleteI love homes that combine style with pre-loved items. Perhaps it's my age but I adore items with history, homes that speak of their occupants and I hate waste.
