Do you love baskets as much as I do? I love all baskets wicker, rattan or willow and all uses they can be used for down below are a few ideas and how to take an ordinary woven basket and give it a complete different look.
In my home you will see I use a lot of neutrals and mostly white in an American & French Farmhouse Style and every now an then you will see a bit of Shabby Chic thrown in. These baskets have it all with a new fresh coat of paint

BASKET WHITE WASHED
n the basket is 3 white candle sticks with flameless candles , stack of old books with white pitcher and Large pitcher filled with floral. Just enough to create simple vignette, but just enough to fill the willow woven basket.


Tip: When decorating in a basket and using candles, it is best to use flameless candles to avoid any accidents from happening.
Suggested materials:
  • White and tan chalk paint   (craft store)
  • Willow woven basket   (thrift store)

    How do I clean baskets made of different types of materials (wood, rattan, willow, etc)? They are decorative pieces on top of my kitchen cabinets and have collected cooking grease and dust. Some are just cheap ones that have struck my fancy and some are rather expensive. Any help you could lend would be much appreciated! Thank you! (Please respond to musicinmyhead2@gmail.com)
