Vintage Mop Bucket Water Feature
About once a month or so, I like to visit my local antique and thrift shops to look for deals and just get some inspiration. In fact, during one of those trips, I found this galvanized mop bucket perfect for making a little soothing water feature (like my vintage washing machine fountain).
You only need a few things to set up a fountain. A container that will hold water and has something for the water to flow over, under or against. A pump with tubing and electricity.
Here is a picture of the bucket prior to setting up the water and pump. It would also look great with a plant or flowers in it. So versatile!
Did I mention that this Mop Bucket is Patented! Don’t get any ideas on copying it! I remember a time when I thought these were beyond ugly and I would turn my nose up at them. Now, I think they are adorable and I am decorating with them? I am still trying to figure that one out!

I have this exact same bucket in the basement. I remember my mom using it when she mopped the kitchen floor! I can't wait to make a cute fountain out of it, cute idea.
