With summer fast approaching, one of life’s little luxuries that comes to mind is one that can be found in the yard…. decorative hose storage containers! There is nothing quite as distracting as a twisted wad of hoses piled all over the yard. But today, hoses can be functionally and beautifully disguised, while also keeping them handy for convenient use. Take a look at a few of these examples that can be purchased from online retailers.

Frontgate has a whole section of decorative containers to choose from.

Here is a beautiful copper pot design with an opening on one side for the hose to easily link to the water source.

This hose container actually moonlights as a stool!

Although the hose is still visible from this storage device, the hose is hardly noticeable  with such an ornate and decorative design.

Here is a garden hose pot from Brookstone that has a bright copper-color finish.

Sunset magazine featured a do-it-yourself project for creating your very own bench to hide up to TWO hoses. … for under $200! To read the full instructions, click the link to go to there!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS “LITTLE LUXURY”? DO YOU OWN SOMETHING LIKE THIS ALREADY? IF SO, IS IT EASY AND CONVENIENT TO USE? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?

NOW, GO HAVE AN “It’s So Fabulous!” DAY!
