Over the past couple of years I’ve gathered a few fishing baskets. A few people asked about this basket in my kitchen from a recent post, so I thought I would share about my little collection.

You can find similar baskets in my Amazon shop, or if you have secondhand shops near you stop in now and then to see if you can find one!

I discovered my first one tucked into the back of a local vintage store before I knew they had a name. The unique shape of the basket just caught my eye!

Baskets of any kind are wonderful for decorating and organizing, but these definitely have extra character and charm.

We have a larger fishing basket hanging in our mudroom right now. I noticed my husband is using it for some of the dog supplements! So clever :). Love that it has the long handle — I think a basket looks so charming on a hook.

This one that we had the apples in my recent shelf styling post moves around the house all the time. It really comes in handy to hide or elevate the look of a room with useful things inside.

These baskets also look adorable with a plant or flowers. I love using unexpected pieces like this.

We hung this one on our door (on this white rope) with plants in it for our fall porch! You can line a basket with a plastic bag or put flowers in jars or drinking glasses.

I love the texture, shape, character and multi-purpose function of these baskets, don’t you?


I’ve even used them as a charming way to hide extra toilet paper in our powder bath!

Happy decorating!
