Stylish storage
Baskets come in all shapes, sizes, colors and textures. You can find one to suit every need. They are lovely and can hide the many knick-knacks that accumulate in piles around the house.
This Peterboro basket is called a Pantry Storage Basket but it could have many other uses. It would work in the garden, a kid’s room, in a home office or to store pet paraphernalia. The strap handles are useful and sturdy. The straps come in three colors and you have a choice of four stain colors for the basket. Each basket is $74.00. The basket is 14”d x 10”h.
I love felt so I was thrilled to find this soft felt basket from Land of Nod. In a geometric pattern, it is 18” in diameter x 16” high. It comes in two color patterns. $24.95.
These baskets are made from recycled float ropes. They are woven on Cranberry Island in Maine using the recycled rope from lobstering and fishing families. The weavers use the Maine Native American techniques of basket-making. Color choices vary so if you are looking for a specific color, contact www.DayTripSociety.com directly. The baskets are 13”w x 6”h and $65.00 each.
This royal blue striped sisal basket is hand-woven in Kenya. The sisal is naturally dyed and each basket is a one-of-a-kind. A group of 30 Kenyan women weave the baskets and the income is increasingly important as crops fluctuate. Every purchase supports the women by improving their housing, food supply and schools. $145.00.
The baskets are 9”d x 11”h.
I love all three of these Huntington Baskets from Serena & Lily. They are woven by hand to support a women’s collective in India.

The handles are 7” long.
I love these braided storage baskets. There are 65 styles and multiple color choices within each style, so you have hundreds of possible combinations. You can definitely find one that fits with the décor in every room of your house. They are made of braided rug fabric, are durable and can hold anything. They come in a variety of sizes. The X-large size is 24”d x 14”h and $115.00. The Large size is 18”d x 12”h. Prices range from $49.00 – $72.00.
I love these wonderful 18″d Colonial Mills braided baskets called “Lighthouse” available at Overstock for $59.00 each.
