Coastal decor is really popular. Right now, all of my favorite stores are packed FULL with it! Even though I wish we lived closer to the ocean, I am not necessarily drawn to coastal-themed decor (or any “themed” decor for that matter). With that being said, I do think a few coastal touches here and there during the summer months is always fun.
When I spotted these galvanized milk canisters at a yard sale, I had to bring them home.
They were faded, falling apart, but……. FREE!
I had plans for them as soon as I saw them.
When I first saw them, I thought farmhouse. Then, I started thinking about mixing a little coastal vibe to the farmhouse feel and I could come up with something that would be great for summer, but that I could use all year long.
I removed the faded twine.

Supplies Used To Make These Coastal Decor Pieces:
The canisters looked so much better just by removing the twine.
To make them “coastal”, I hot glued natural twine all around them
Even though these cans only stand about 12″ tall, it took forever to wrap them! It is a great project to do while catching up on your favorite TV programs (Fixer Upper anybody??).
To add a little something extra to these milk canisters, I used a couple of wood planks I had.
I stained them a dark color.
Then, I used the Brush Script Alpha Stencil Mask to add some letters and numbers to them.
After the paint dried, I sanded them a little bit.
I hung the planks different ways on the canisters.
Who likes to have everything the same? 😉
This coastal decor project is perfect for summer. If you have a coastal decor theme in your home, you could use these all year round.
I found some beautiful coastal decor pieces online too:

I love this tutorial, Lindsay! I’m a big fan of the Fall season as well – something about the cooler air, falling leaves, and focus on family; it pulls at the heart strings! I agree that these canisters can be used year round with coordinating flowers and accessories to match the season!
