Just a Wire Basket

Monday, January 30, 2012

Eeek! I'm already so behind on my mini-goal of posting at least 2-3 times per week. How can I be behind already, it's only the third week since I made the goal!?!?!

So, I'll post about my cute, new basket. Do you ever get pictures of interiors embedded in your mind? I do. I pinned this picture awhile back on my pinterest thingie and have had visions of wire baskets dancing in my mind ever since:

I was at Homesense this weekend shopping for a few last minute items for the wedding shower when I saw a couple walk by with two similarly sized / shaped wire baskets in their cart.

I sent my mom on a mission to follow them and try to find out where they got them and if there were any left. We found out there was one left. Score! Except I wasn't supposed to be shopping for me. Ooops. ;)



I know it's not as quirky and antique-looking as the one in my inspiration photo but when you live where I live (and the shopping stinks) you gotta take what you can get.

It was $19.99 and pretty solid. I threw some cushions in it for now to see how cute it would look. Yup, pretty cute. 

I thought it would look really good filled up with throw blankets in the basement or with stuffed animals in a kids room.

Hey, on an unrelated note, have any of you ever taken an online interior design course? I've been seriously contemplating a crazy life change and would love any recommendations you've got for me. :)

  2. That basket is really adorable! I love the look of it! Also, I think you should DEFINITELY go for the online schooling. I go to University of Phoenix right now getting my degree in English Lit and I would encourage you to accomplish whatever you have in your mind. I am graduating this year and knowing that makes me feel amazing. So go get it girl!

  4. Regarding the online interior design course...I recently enrolled at the Sheffield Interior Design School based in New York. I received my first unit and worked on my first few lessons last night! It was super fun and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it so far.

    Here's their site: http://www.sheffield.edu/htmlsrc/interior-design-course.html

    Keep up the great work and pursue your dreams!

    Cheers, Jean
