Baskets are probably my favorite form of storage. There are so many different styles and colors that I can really decorate the place cute, while keeping it tidy. I love going to look at the basket section of every thrift shop. A lot of times there is absolutely nothing, but sometimes there is a real gem. The top two and bottom left photo are baskets all from my kids playroom. They are a great size, paying a dollar or less for each of these, what a deal! Camille and Noah both love the little baskets, they’ll dump them out and load them up with tons of other toys. Another thing I love about baskets for the kids is that they are open vs. the closed toy box they both have in their rooms (and barely ever play with stuff inside of them). It appears to me that when they actually see the fun toys arranged in the basket, they want to play with the toys.
I have several other thrifted baskets, but I really do love this one. We use it to store the kids bean bags. What I love about it also is the handle can bend, so that we actually use it for tossing the bean bags too.
happy thrifty finds!

You can never have too many baskets! I store all kinds of things in them — these days mostly craft stuff. I always have at least two projects stuffed in a basket — ready to be grabbed at a moment’s notice. They are so much nicer than their plastic counterparts.
Baskets are one of my favorite ways of organizing to! Sometimes I’ll clip the handles off so that they’ll fit onto my shelves easier.
I have tons of baskets! They are in every room, in all shapes and sizes!
I love baskets and bins. I have a bunch of little one’s toys in a fabric tote downstairs and a bin in her room … these definitely get used a lot more often than anything in her toy box. For now I’m keeping a bunch of stuffed animals that are a little old for her in the toy box. Love your baskets
So pretty and colorful!
I’d have more baskets than my one…(yes, one), but The Mr. is not a fan. So we have bins.
