Have you ever been strolling through the thrift store when, all of a sudden, your eyes land on something with the perfect size, shape, color, texture, pattern, or style that you’re looking for?!<\/strong> \u00a0It doesn’t happen to me all the time, but when it does, it is just so exciting! \u00a0At the same time, it gives me extra motivation for the next time I get to look for a thrifted item too!<\/p>\n If you’ve been following along here for even a little bit, you know our home is full of thrifted treasures and to be honest, thrifting, going to markets, and that type of thing are one of my top ways to relax and unwind!<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who also love thrifting, you’re in luck! \u00a0It is #thriftingwiththegals day,<\/strong> which means I’m joining up with some of my thrifting buddies to share our thrifted finds, DIYs, and styles around our home.<\/p>\n Today, I want to share one of my favorite things to thrift for: baskets! \u00a0I have so many but really and truly, I love and use them. \u00a0Therefore, baskets remain on my list of favorites to watch for when I’m out and about! \u00a0Especially during the spring and summer months, it’s one of the best ways to add seasonal texture around our home.<\/p>\n There are many, MANY ways to use and style baskets,<\/strong> so today, let’s chat about 5 super easy ways that I’m using this season!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text- ADD LINKS AND GUEST HOST” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After that, keep reading to see all the ways that these thrifting friends style up their fun finds too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thrifted-baskets-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Thrifted baskets” admin_label=”IMG thrifted baskets” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”1. baskets for storage” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Storing needed items in plain sight is always a good idea and I love when I can provide storage\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>decorate<\/strong> with thrifted baskets at the same time! \u00a0Budget-friendly ways to help our home function better are a win-win for me!<\/p>\n Whether it is a small basket in the kitchen<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to store and display fruit or a large basket<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that holds photo albums and doubles as furniture, I love them. \u00a0These are both real-life examples that I am currently using in our home!<\/p>\n Tip:\u00a0Maximize your storage and help your home be more clutter-free by using baskets to corral frequently used items! \u00a0Watch for pretty baskets at thrift stores that can provide open and closed storage for your home. \u00a0If you see one you love, grab it! \u00a0I can\u00a0almost\u00a0guarantee you’ll find a great use for it!<\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image title_text=”20201117 – Vintage Christmas Collections (4)” admin_label=”IMG basket in kitchen with fruit” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Basket-coffee-table-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Basket coffee table” admin_label=”IMG basket coffee table” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”2. baskets for risers” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Especially during the spring and summer months, I love to use baskets as risers<\/a><\/strong><\/span> around our home. \u00a0For example, when decorating a long console table, I like to make sure I have a variety of heights so that the styling is interesting and has character. \u00a0In addition, baskets<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are a perfect way to give some extra texture to a space while also providing a variety of heights.<\/p>\n I stacked these thrifted baskets<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to give this small vignette of a book, brass candlesticks, and vintage clock some height and substance!<\/p>\n Tip: When styling a vignette, make sure you have a variety of heights. \u00a0Baskets are a great item to add height while also adding a lot of texture to a vignette.<\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Music-room-coffee-table-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Music room coffee table” admin_label=”IMG music room apothecary baskets” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”3. baskets for side tables and coffee tables” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you’ve followed along with our home for long at all, you know I like big decor!<\/strong> \u00a0Big cabinets, big mirrors, big, well, mostly everything! \u00a0<\/p>\n Baskets are no exception! \u00a0I have been fortunate to find several big baskets at vintage and flea market events and they make amazing furniture pieces! \u00a0<\/p>\n For example, this old shipping basket<\/a><\/strong><\/span> was a fun find from a friend who was getting rid of it. \u00a0It is the perfect small-scale coffee table<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and at the same time, provides some storage for photo albums!

\u00a0A stack of baskets, whether small ones on a table or larger ones on the floor<\/strong><\/span>,<\/a> just has such a visually appealing look. \u00a0As with any collection, baskets look so good grouped together.<\/p>\n Stacks of baskets can also be functional! \u00a0For example, a stack of larger baskets can double as a side table.<\/p>\n In addition, baskets<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that are stacked together can help define a theme or story in a room. \u00a0This basket stack<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the family room, for example, helps tell a story of long spring evenings, taking our dinner to the park for a picnic or carrying a snack outside to watch the cardinal family that’s taken up residence under our gazebo.<\/strong> \u00a0Even if those idyllic moments are not actually happening often right now, the smallest details in a room help create a peaceful and pleasant story theme for the space.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Family-room-cabinet-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Family room cabinet” admin_label=”IMG family room cabinet” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”4. stack baskets” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Besides, you never know!
