Barrels O'Fun

I found these awesome barrels in my Southern Living magazine, thanks to Mom for subscribing me, and am excited to order some! In the magazine they had a Christmas tree in one of the half barrels, as opposed to the traditional tree stand/skirt combo. I have been picking up on this trend a lot this season and even have a basket under my tree...I need to take a picture. I love how rustic these look and how many purposes they could have. I have even seen a full barrel used as a side table in the Pottery Barn magazine.

I think these would be so neat to have out year round, in the house or outside. They are priced very reasonably. Get your own at http://www.kentuckybarrels.com/
