Paula and Dawn
We came up with the idea for the storage containers when we were having our house renovated, which involved converting our garage into a living room; we lost a lot of storage space. Among the many things we kept in the garage, were the dog and cat food bags.
Cabinet space was limited in our fancy new kitchen, so the idea of storing our cat and dog food in retro style garbage cans was born. After searching for the right can and designing our own euro style decals, we came up with these fun and decorative food or toy storage bins for cats and dogs.
Because we are two fun girls who like to entertain, designing these wine and beer tubs was engineered. They are fun, decorative and get people in a festive mood.
