Bucket Benches

What wonderful days we have been having!
We thought Spring would be here to stay....
but found out more snow towards the end of the week.
Let's hope the birdies who are building their nests
will be alright.

Today I wanted to show you my four bucket benches.

This one is in our back room.

Although it is a bucket bench,

it currently holds crocks, a piggin and our clock.

This one is in our kitchen.

It does hold one bucket, another crock.

Potato mashers on top, and a scrubber

and wood spoon in the top shelf.

This one resides in our hall.

Again crocks....what can I say.

I love crocks.

Now the final one did have a few buckets.

Again crocks.

This is the cabinet above it.

It was full of my smaller bowl collection.

Empty now and heading to the store,

along with the bucket bench.

I have decided to part with these 

to bring in another cabinet that will look

better with my new scheme.

The fortunate thing about owning an antique store,

is I am able to do this.

It is very rare I part with a piece of furniture...

yet two, but alas I must with these.

The bucket bench came from the oldest farmhouse

in Allen Park, Michigan before it was torn down.

The cabinet came from a friend.

The colors are perfect together....

and hopefully the next owner will purchase both.

Gramma B had two bucket benches in her farmhouse.

She did use them for buckets.

With no running water,

she had buckets full of water to boil inside.

The other one resided on the back porch.

This one also had buckets and bags of dog food. 

Bob is not feeling so good, 

so not sure when these will go to the store.

His back is hurting him....

I keep telling him to stop doing so much.

He never listens.

Even when he called yesterday 

saying he was hurting,

after work I found him working on a small

cabinet outside the back door 

of the new store.

All I can say is "men".

Tonight is taco Tuesday night at a local restaurant.

Will enjoy time out.

Do you have any bucket benches...

or know of someone who does or did?

Bucket Bench Blessings To All!
