19. Galvanized Metal Bucket Indoor Herb Planter

Agricultural elements look right at home in modern western kitchens. Small galvanized steel buckets repurposed as herb planters offer a utilitarian, charming look.

  • How to Make It: Drill small drainage holes into the bottom of several mini galvanized metal buckets. Line the interior base with coffee filters to retain soil while allowing water to pass through. Fill with organic potting mix and plant culinary herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Place the buckets inside a long, distressed wooden carrier tray.
  • Tips & Variations: Write the name of each herb directly onto the front of each bucket using a black waterproof chalk pen for a rustic farmhouse labeling effect.
