vintage aluminium Grundy bin lid | H is for Home

We were tired of a huge bag of dog food balancing on our washing machine and were just about to buy one of the dog food bins that we featured in a recent ‘Gimme Five’ post

…then one of our fellow dealers brought this vintage aluminium Grundy bin into the antiques centre.

It’s absolutely perfect!! It fits the largest sacks of food, it’s secure & sturdy – and even has wheels to allow easy movement for cleaning etc.

Up-cycling at its best – we couldn’t have designed anything better.

vintage 1950s tin Worcester ware waste paper bin

We don’t often do blog posts about waste paper bins, but this one was so nice we had to give it a mention.

It dates from the 1950s and features chic French scenes – a very fashionable decorative theme from this era.

The bin was made by Worcester Ware – a company well worth looking out for as they produced some fabulous everyday metalware – tins, trays, placemats etc.

It would fit perfectly into a French look, shabby chic bedroom or 50s-inspired lounge.
