I always wonder if the neighbors can see me thru the patio door from their back patio and if they can they surely must wonder why I am sitting here all alone in amused histerics laughing my head off.. No one has called 911 on me yet so maybe they cant see from all that distance away.. thank goodness
anywhooooo on with da show...
I have seen silver ware caddies all over blogland and I've wanted one real bad but didnt wanna spend the big bucks for it. I love the one advertised at Pottery Barn but,, $79.00 NO WAY..
I was looking around at reclaimed wood projects and decided to take a peek at the Anna White site. Sure enough she had done a caddy using a reclaimed soda box.. and then, Inspiration Struck.. I had something I could use afterall so mine would be Free.. wooohooo Free is my favorite.. AND it would work well in my kitchen AND I could use coffee beans as a filler AND everytime I grab a utensil it makes the scent of the coffee beans go up my nose AND it opened up a whole drawer in my kitchen .. I can sure use it for something else. .. I see this as a WIN WIN WIN WIN ..
so here's my Copy .. I love it.. this was large enough to hold my knives- forks- salad forks- teaspoons- ladle spoon .. with the plates stacked in back , no one visiting will have to go thru my cabs to find stuff. Just grab a plate and silver and fill your plate..
thanks for coming to take a peek..
I welcome your visits with open arms and a smile on my face.

Great idea, Sonny, and I love the way it looks on your counter with the dishes in the background! Nicely done! Even nicer that it didn't cost you anything. : )
ReplyDeleteOh Sonny, I like yours even better. And I have that crate, so I could do it too and copy you!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I love it = yours is the BEST!! It's a copy cat caddy copy!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!

Hi Sonny! Oh, this is so pretty! Wish I had a pretty caddy like that!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

Hi Sonny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great silverware caddy!! You found a good inspiration photo and then made your own special version. I like the idea of the coffee beans -- wonderful aroma.
I know what you mean about the hysterical giggling. :) If something takes me a certain way and I find it funny (even if no one else does) I can laugh for 30 minutes. The neighbors haven't called 911, but I think my husband or son might someday. :D
How fun that you have a cabin in Sylva; that whole area is pretty. I like Dillsboro, as well. Thanks for your comments on my mosaics, Sonny, and have a great day!

oh my gosh thats cute,
ReplyDeleteI like yours the best as well. Love using the coffee beans.
ReplyDeleteOh Sonny....I crack up at myself so often....sometimes, when I am reading blogs I am just snorting...and cackling...and my husband says what is so funny? well, he wouldn't get it...
ReplyDeleteYou did good! I still haven't tried a copy cat..
Look at you Miss Sonny!~ Oh I just love your caddy. I am giggling too over you laughing at yourself too. Hope your neighbors can see you, they may get a laugh too:) This is really cute, and so doable!~ Thanks SOnny for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful copy! Yours is truly an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love yours. Great copycaddy.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and so convenient to have everything handy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous caddy. It is perfect. I like yours even better than your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWonderful copycat Sonny! I really need to put together a caddy like this. Great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sonny that made an awesome silverware caddy. What a great idea
ReplyDeleteto put the coffee beans in there to hold them in place. Love what it says too. Perfect for the kitchen, and you set it up very nicely my dear!
You are so clever. and you did a great Caddy copy! that does sound funny I have to say............so go ahead laugh your head off! lol
Blessings sweetie, and thanks for stopping by.

Nice job. Love the rustic look, and the "price".
ReplyDeleteSeen these all over blogland but not dressed up like yours. Great copy cat.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I am always laughing at my computer. Not "at" it... you knwo what I mean :)
ReplyDeleteYour caddy is a QT! Just darling and I love the styling too. Nice job!
Your caddy is just perfect! So pretty! I love the idea of the coffee beans! Great copycat!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Sonny!!
ReplyDeleteah! coffee beans...pretty and I bet it smells good too
ReplyDeleteYour caddy is too cute! Love it! I have the set of wooden herb crates. Mine are hanging on the wall. I keep napkins in them. Love the silverware in them.
ReplyDeleteI just love it and now want to copy caddy you. Looking for some the perfect base for it around here... FREE is my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of the coffee beans. That is just inspired.
Love it. Both of your caddy's are fabulous. Such a good idea. Great especially for a party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove it Sonny! I need to find one of these!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Sonny, as usual you top the list of the best at creating a look no one has thought about. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen
Love it! I would love to do something like this...
ReplyDeleteGreat lookin' caddy and the best part is that you used what you had. I love any project I can do that with.
ReplyDeleteSonny, you done good girl! Love this idea! Hugs and blessings Cindy
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks too for popping in!
Sonny, That is a cute idea. It would be great for families...easy for the kids to find things too. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteYours turned out beautifully and your photo looks like a magazine cover!
ReplyDeleteI like yours better too! Great idea! and a pomeranian lover to boot!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way out to my storage room in the barn. Think I just may have an old wooden shoeshine box that will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteOops, I just remembered how hot it is. No going to storage for a while but will post what I find when I find it.
ReplyDeleteUmmm....I think your caddy is awesome and although the inspiration caddy is beautiful, yours has that Sonny warmth and Sonny detail that we've all grown to love.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I like your version better, and um did you use a pallet? LOL.
ReplyDeleteVery creative, and inventive. And good for you to use up something that you already have, instead of going out and buying it.
I used to blog right beside the window of our ground level condo...the neighbours could hear my laughing and giggling when the windows were open, and they could see me...we crazy bloggers have to stick together.

PS, snarky or not, I am looking forward to seeing that post you talked about.
Your caddy is a great project, and I like the original one, too! Great copycat!

ReplyDeleteHi Sonny! Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,

Hi, love the caddy and also love that you laugh hysterically. I find myself doing the same often while blogging. I really am not that funny, just easily amused. I always wonder if my neighbors laugh at me constantly snapping pics out my back door. Oh well, maybe they are easily amused also. Using the coffee beans is a great idea. Visiting from Debbiedoos.

Such a clever copy, Sonny! I love that you used coffee beans -- is that not the best aroma....lol!
ReplyDeleteCAS
I love your caddy! You did a great job of making it your own and yet keeping the feel of the project. I also love those roosters in the background!
