Making your house a home with simple DIY projects is one of the great joys of vintage living.
Taking what is old and giving it new life, imagining possibilities and reviving the story of something that is otherwise forgotten. I have a few tea caddys no longer in service and they have sat prettily on the window sill gathering dust; now it’s time to put them into a different kind of service. With a little love and creativity they can take center stage as you plan your Spring decorating. After all, what could be a more appropriate way to celebrate the coming season than with taking something out of hibernation and giving it a brand new life!

If you have any spare tea caddy’s and want to send them my way, I’ll give them a very good home!
Love the idea of turning an old tea tin into a clock! I should file this as one of my creative projects to do over the weekend in addition to dyeing some linen sheets
Fabulous ideas! I especially like the idea of turning tea tins into magnetic holders for the fridge. Thank you for sharing all of these, they’re just terrific!
