Confession: I was trying to come up with some kind of clever name for this post.ย  Failed miserably, I know but Fun. was on the iPod and the subject came from their song of the same name.

So, what am I carrying?ย  Utensils…plates…all the stuff I am normally trying to juggle along with opening the deck door when we have a BBQ or eat outside.

My inspiration:



My version:

I had seen one recently on the Pinworthy Projects Link Partyย (shown above)ย and knew I had to have one.ย  Of course, Jessica put a little more work into hers than I did because she started with an unfinished wood caddy.


Me…I found an adorable green and blue little canvas wrapped basket on the clearance aisle and thought “YAY…no painting!”ย  I am kind of in the middle of a paint nightmare so the idea of painting something else just wasn’t doing it for me.

Anyhoo.ย  I did pick up some blue gloss paint along with two ceramic planter pots.ย  I swiped on some of the blue high gloss paint on the rims and was donzo.


The ceramic planters along with a little yellow bucket I already had fit perfectly leaving room for plates too.

How do you get your million items needed for the table out?ย  A thousand little trips or do you have something like this?

  1. The inspiration photo is nice but I love, love, love yours, it is so cute ๐Ÿ™‚ I usually have my utensils in a cup and then have everything on a large tray that I use to carry outside. However, your little basket is so cute I think it’s time for a change. I am pinning it ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Great idea, wish I’d seen that before I bought an ugly plain caddy ๐Ÿ™‚ I still may have to make one like yours, it’s awesome. Mary

  3. Adorable!! Love the colors, and the polka dots. I’m your newest follower from Show & Share! ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. very cute caddy! I found you via Southern Lovely link party. I’m REALLY enjoying your blog ๐Ÿ™‚ Have you heard of Social Spark? A site that finds sponsors for your blog and pays you to write about the sponsors? I might be late on the bandwagon for Social Spark but I’m really jazzed about it so when i see blogs like yours I always want to share just in case you haven’t heard of it lol! Check it out http://izea.in/rkiy

  5. Your caddy looks great! Great job recreating something that is not just functional but stylish. Thanks for sharing with us at tip toe thru tuesday!

  6. I adore this carry-all! I’ve been brainstorming how I’m going to make one! LOVE IT!
