Metal Wall Baskets


I love to decorate... and I love metal wall baskets! 

(there are no affiliate links in this post but I did include the ads where I bought so you can see the size and price)

We always have a hundred papers laying around that don't always need immediate attention but something we need in the future, so they need a place in view but out of the way.

So when I decided this space needed a little more storage I knew exactly what I wanted to use....

I bought two wire wall baskets from Amazon. 

They don't take up to much space but they are big enough to keep our papers off the countertop. 

They have hooks which are nice for hanging keys or whatever you need to hang. (they could hold something pretty heavy but if you want to hang something heavy make sure to secure the basket into the studs in your wall so whatever you hang doesn't pull the screws out of your wall.)




They are super handy and look nice as well!




I'm very happy with 
how they turned out!!!


(I'm thinking I need another one 
to hang my calendar on... 
it will need a bit of reconstruction 
but that shouldn't be hard)


2nd Basket


I also had a couple things outside that I needed to keep out of the way but in easy reach and use. 

So I ordered another basket to keep our bug spray and sunscreen handy but somewhere the wind couldn't make a mess of it. 

This vintage basket is super cute and a good size for these bottles but it didn't come with hooks on the bottom. 

So after a little research I found some metal hooks that just clip on. They worked AMAZING! They are heavy duty but you could bend them with a little muscle if you needed them slightly different shaped.






I just love when a project comes together 
and makes my life a little easier!!!

Good luck with your next project!

my NEW Rocking Bench


 I love living in the country!

We live in a sweet little spot three miles north of a tiny little town. There are wild turkeys along with other wildlife and mountains in our back yard. 

With all of this goodness to enjoy, I decided to indulge in a new glider bench for our back porch. 

It fit perfectly and because its made of metal and trex it should last a very long time through our long sunny summer days and harsh winter storms.



It's perfect!

Evenings are sweet...

and now we have the best place to sit and soak in the last rays of each day!


Happy Spring!
