Going Galvanized Out on My Fall Porch

I've always had a love for galvanized buckets and tubs. This fall I decided to embrace my love and go 'galvanized' out on the porch.
I tucked an old hanging calf feeder bucket into one of the drawers of my chippy filing cabinet on wheels. I love the orange stripe and the words, "calfeteria".
Hubby hung a pulley from the roof and we added an old minnow and coal bucket.
an orange mum and sedums add a touch of fall color.
I love the unusual pumpkins you can find now days!
An assortment of pumpkins and gourds spill out from an old galvanized washtub.
I added foliage gathered along the roadside and from my garden to an old cream separator.
And filled my tiered tray with Indian corn, gourds, and acorns.
Then we hung two household buckets planted with more fall plants.
Here you can see both buckets hanging. I am just in the process of giving the pumpkin on the rusty lampstand a steampunk style. He will probably end up somewhere else.
I found the rolling filing cabinet at a flea market for $30. I've had it a little over a year and it just keeps chippier. I love it!
I also placed an old ladder into one of the front beds.
and added another well used bucket at the base to continue with the 'galvanized' theme.
Happy Fall!
