Handmade baskets so pretty you might be surprised what went into making them

In a small house like mine, things have a tendency to pile up. Knickknacks and papers find coffee tables and countertops and sneak their way into every nook and cranny that doesn't have a pile of stuff already on it. I suppose I could try to get a bigger house, but what I really need is better storage solutions. Like these amazing baskets.

The gorgeous baskets from Find Your Happy Design on Etsy are all handmade from found materials, appealing to my eco-sensibilities as well as my fondness for great design.

I love that the designer creates the baskets in named series. While the Natural & Neon series incorporates bright shocks of pinks and yellows, the Waste Paper Basket series is made entirely from junk mail. Amazing.

I also love the Modern Scandi series (at top) featuring natural rope and colored twine and looking decidedly Scandinavian.

A few of these baskets scattered around my house would amp up my organization levels for sure. Not to mention the instant boost to my interior design cred. -Stephanie S.
