Win a charming (and utilitarian!) pair of baskets for your home!
Baskets are the ultimate catch-all -- and we're not just talking about how well they catch all the stuff you throw their way. We mean that a good basket will play any role you ask of it, and play it well. So we're delighted to give away a set of two classic, sturdy and totally lovely baskets from Coco Company -- one at 13" by 13", and another at 17" by 17".
Looking at these beautiful pieces has us all nostalgic for our favorite basket tricks here at ShelterPop. So in honor of the giveaway, here's a look back at some of the best ways to use baskets at home:
-Set up a basket to collect no longer needed clothes from your family members: When the basket fills up, you can bring it to a local charity. How thoughtful! And good for de-cluttering.
-Take advantage of their good organic looks, and use them as grounding elements for more exotic colors -- like purple!
-Put attractive baskets on your bookshelves so you can stash stuff in style.
-Use Peter Walsh's idea for a "Friday Box"...but make it a "Friday Basket"!
Some of our other favorite roles for baskets: recycling center, mail drop, laundry depository, wastebasket, toy box, magazine storage, keeper of keepsakes, or the ultimate job: collection center for all the knick-knacks, must-haves, treasures and clutter you can fit in there.

ReplyIt would be great for collecting all the things that start to clutter around the house. I would put them near the stairs and have the kids take them when it gets full.
