Salt Pepper Shaker Decor

As we continue to adjust our living spaces for more and frequent use, repurposing salt and pepper shakers into easy home decor is a good option to brighten a space with little effort.

A friend gave me a vintage ceramic mouse holding a piece of cheese salt shaker many years ago. The little ceramic brought smiles every time I saw it so I started looking around for other salt and pepper shakers. Salt and pepper shakers are small enough to easily store and take little time to set out in a small space.

I didn’t find them often but when I did, I brought them home to be added to one shoe box and to quickly update a little corner of my kitchen.

This particular spot is the first thing I see when I walk into the kitchen and keeps me company when I am working at the kitchen island.

Last Christmas, another friend gifted me with these charming ceramic bears with a honey pot salt and pepper shakers.

So cute and the perfect addition to my glass flower basket with a handblown glass bee flying over the flowers.

It takes me about 5, maybe 10 minutes if I have to pick new flowers - to update this little kitchen corner.

Sometimes I put out a new salt and pepper set for a new season. Other times a new set comes out to celebrate a special occasion. It’s so easy to do and has minimal impact on the rest of the space.

And did I mention the fun it is to treasure hunt for them?
