Laundry basket or maybe...





What do you do when you order something that you just had to have, but then got it and had absolutely no idea where to put it? That's what happened to me when I found myself with a HUGE wire laundry basket that couldn't be used in the laundry room, or in our closet, or even as a decorative thingy in the hallway. I just found a new use for it, and it's a far cry from what it's supposed to be used for.

It's now Hunter's new toy box. I'm pretty sure Pottery Barn never saw that coming.

PS-In other news, Carolyn- my uber-talented cousin, made this beautiful burlap and muslin runner for my kitchen island. Love, love, love it! Head on over to etsy to order one for yourself!

  4. Boys need places to put their toys. Otherwise, they end up under the bed and everywhere else. Which is where my kids' stuff is.

  5. Tony is always seeing things he wants and then I'm the killjoy of asking "Where are we going to PUT it?"

    Things always look so much smaller online or in the store. :)
