A Small Change

Besides the leaf dish and etched hurricane that I found at the antique mall, that I shared, I also found this willow basket/tray. I know I just showed you the new sunroom, but hey, I like this basket better.

I have been wanting one of these, but they usually come with a hefty price tag. Well, not this time. This sucker is a good size and it was only $24. Yay!

So I swapped it out with the bamboo tray that I was using here and filled it with the bottles and a few
extras since it had more space to fill.

I was glad to be able to use the bamboo tray back in the great room on the coffee table.

I added a bunch of lavender that I bought last spring 

and a pot of greenery to add some softness.

And of course some antlers.


I have miss Leila today. Enjoy your Tuesday and I will
see you tonight for Wow.

If you want a good laugh go read the new post at The Treasured Home.

Oh I love that basket! I have been looking for one in that shape. Isn't it crazy how you can never seem to have enough baskets!

I love that basket. The Barefoot Contessa uses a big sturdy rectangular-shaped basket that I want but haven't been able to find one that has a reasonable price tag. I saw jus the perfect one in Holland but I was on a bicycle. Whomp, whomp.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

What a great sized basket, Kim! It holds all that you've put in it and looks like there is still room. Have fun with Leila!

Kelly said...

I like your basket tray. It looks good with a mix of things displayed in it. I see you were able to get some pepperberry sprays like I have. I love those! They are so fluffy and delicate. Have fun with Leila today. I FINALLY have a quiet house today. Will went back to school today and Jimmy is at work. I've got a dentist cleaning later though.

Hi Kim,
Oh, I love the size of that basket!
Great colour too! It holds a lot of your beautiful treasures...
I love that you can just lift it all up when you need to use the surface of the table...
Have a great day today with Leila!
All the Best,
Christine

Very pretty. My husband is a hunter. We have tons of antlers. I've never thought to add them to our decor. Thanks so much for passing this along!

I love a big useful basket and you got one here.

Love the tray and the antlers. There is not one family member that will give up their antlers. And I get a bad look when I say antlers and not "rack":)

There's something about the patina of old wicker baskets that just works in any decorating style - yours is a really wonderful example.

I can't post right now, hard to see your antlers as I have visions of a hot, very hot, man on a yoga mat.

Oh, I want one!! I've been looking for a round flat wicker/willow basket for about 6 months now.
You lucky thing. I love your bottles in it.

Such a pretty vignette for a sunroom, looks like it came off the pages of a magazine. Love the collection of wicker against the green bottle. Thanks for the party.~Poppy
