an idea hit me to use it to file my paperwork in. It is great. It is just a picnic basket that I got for my wedding. It fits file folders in it perfectly. Anyone coming into my kitchen would never know what is in it.

WFMW: File Basket
I love the look of the baskets you can file your paperwork in, but they cost so much. So one day when I was going to get rid of this (because it has a broken handle):

What a wonderful idea. I love to be able to recycle items, but my DH thinks that if it is broken then just throw it away.
ReplyDeleteCute idea! I had one just like it that my husband threw away when it got broken. Wedding gift at our house, too.
ReplyDeleteI got a picnic basket for a wedding gift, too. Used it once (they are much more romantic in theory). After storing it and moving it multiple times I finally started using it as a sewing basket. I like your use of it better. My filing cabinet isn't convenient, so my "to file" drawer is always overflowing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea...I was just wondering what I should do with all of my paper stacks around my house. I think I'll try to do this!
ReplyDeleteBTW...I just finished reading 5 people you meet in heaven....Thanks for the tip! I loved it!
LOVE this idea, I am a basket freak LOL Always on the prowl for a cute basket to use somewhere in the house. Thanks for the great tip, I'm definitely doing this one :)
ReplyDeleteNice basket--and your kitchen floor looks so clean, too.
ReplyDeleteTOO CUTE!!! I remember that basket! Seriously, I looked at the pictures and thought..."Hmmm. That looks familiar."
ReplyDeleteI SOOOOO need this for the pile of paper on my desk. Maybe I should just clean it off. Hmmmm.
You always have the best ideas!!!
Great idea. I love baskets!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute! I lvoe it when I find a new use for something old or worn out!
ReplyDeleteThat totally works! And I love that it's recycled. A total "A-ha!" use if I ever saw one.
ReplyDeleteDang, I think I threw our picnic basket away too. :) It would have been perfect for my genealogy folders, which are now in a box (filing cabinet is full).
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea!
nice- great idea- and to think i got dh to spring for the pottery barn desk for my files- glad he didn't see this- he'd have brought up a load o baskets from the basement
ReplyDeleteLet me add to your PILE of comments! Great idea- have SEVERAL baskets in the basement - time to organize! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, so much better-looking than what I'm using. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteFancy pants! That is such a great solution! Now if I only had a cute pic-a-nic basket (say it like Yogi Bear) just like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! You are very creative. I'm very jealous because I usually throw out the item and then realize what I could have done with it!
ReplyDeleteOK you have done it the Friday Flip up this week IS YOURS.
ReplyDeleteIf you would like the code for your award.

I had one of those baskets once upon a time and it never dawned on me to use it for anything else. Probably why I got rid of it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the living room picture in that model home. I could put that on a wish list.
ReplyDeleteAnd the basket for files is perfect, so cute!
