Using Vintage Caddies in Farmhouse Decor

Our Home

10 Aug

My farmhouse vintage style is just becoming more obsessive by nature. I swear I can’t pass a basket or a crate without having some sort of crazy idea of what I want to do with it. They serve many different purposes such as adding texture, storage, and style! I pick up trays, baskets, and crates at antique stores, department stores, & basically anywhere while out junkin’. I want to share with y’all how you can incorporate vintage caddies into your decor to style cute vignettes and serve a purpose. I am doing a link party with some other fellow vintage lovers, make sure to take a stop by their blogs at the bottom to see how they decorate with their caddies! What is a caddy you may ask? Well, it’s a small storage container.

As you can see here I use the dough bowl for my vintage books, it creates a cute simple vignette. I’ve seen dough bowls used in so many ways. They come in many different sizes and can be used for storage depending on how big the bowl!

Using trays for storage is definitely my go-to. I have like a gazillion trays. Some I use for just storage, some for just decoration, but most of the time I will mix functionality & style like above. I put some utensils & cutting boards on this tray but I added a plant for some color.

Tiered trays are really popular and versatile. I see all sorts of tiered trays from wooden, plastic, glass, wire, metal, the list goes on and on! These type of trays are really easy and fun to decorate. You can use them for storing your kitchen stuff or stick it into any room and decorate it,

This ocean spray crate is by far my favorite caddy. It’s large, rustic, and fits a couple of our blankets in there. Crates are an easy way to create some storage space and a farmhouse cozy vibe.

I think I have at least one caddy in every room! Can you tell I’m obsessed with storage space and functionality? I try to find ways to help my house look clean but stay cozy and decorated. Caddies are an easy and great way to incorporate farmhouse style into your home. Make sure to check out my other awesome blogging friends and see how they use their vintage caddies!

This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! No fancy pasta attachment required. 

INGREDIENTS: 
-3 cups of flour (I used freshly milled white wheat)
-1 cup starter (discard is fine) 
-4 eggs 

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place everything in mixer and until dough smooths out. Or create a well with flour, add eggs and starter and mix on the counter. 
2. Let dough ferment for at least 30 min. 
3. Divide into 8ish sections, dust counter with lots of flour, then roll as thin as possible. 
4. Use a pizza cutter to cut pieces as desired. Make sure to be using lots of flour so nothing sticks! 
5. Lay on a cooling rack or hang to dry for at least 30 min. 
6. Boil water, add salt and once boiling cooking for 6-7 minutes. 

We enjoyed this pasta in a tomato pesto chicken alfredo, it was so good!
