Weathered Baskets

Hello everyone!

One thing that seems to be a big part of my home decor lately has been these weathered grey tone baskets.  They offer both style and storage solutions. But most of all, they give me the texture I need with a neutral color palette.

Here are some examples.

In my kitchen, I have this wicker dome and platter set.  It's missing the sheer fabric lining inside the dome, but I like it anyway.  

This one on my table holds my pitcher with greenery.  It's purely decorative, but could be used for just about anything.  It was a recent purchase from Ikea.  Ikea is a great place to find baskets like this.

I am using this lined hamper as a side table for my chair in the family room.  

Inside, it holds throws.  The lining helps keep them from getting picked by the wicker.

This trunk is another recent purchase from Ikea.  I was going to keep my throws in it but it isn't lined.  I will store something else in it instead.  

This tall skinny basket could easily be used to hold umbrellas or walking sticks.  It can even be hung on a wall.  I'm using it for flowers in my foyer though.

This is actually a serving tray or charger, but I'm using it on the wall as art.  I painted some roman numerals on it which gave it some personality.  This one isn't in the grey tone however.

I did the same with this one.  It is propped up above my display cabinet in the dining room.

And finally, I purchased this basket from Target a few years ago.  Wish they still sold them! It's very sturdy and in the perfect shade of weathered grey. I painted numbers on one side, so I can choose which side to use if I want.  It holds magazines.  

So, if you're looking to add texture, storage and style to your home, you might want to consider something like these.  But be careful.  They can quickly become addictive.  

Thanks for stopping by!
