A side table basket with tons of storage


Several years ago I scored this awesome huge basket at Target in the clearance section after Christmas.

I have hoarded it and saved it trying to figure out exactly what to do with it. Obviously I could put a big ol’ plant in it, but that seemed to boring and obvious.

During a cleaning spree, the basket got turned upside down and a pile of stuff ended up on top of it. LIGHTBULB MOMENT! A table! Dur.

But what a waste of all that storage space inside. So I flipped it right-side-up again and purchased a round piece of glass intended for candles. You can find them at Hobby Lobby for around $14. It fit perfectly and a new side table was born, complete with tons of storage space hidden inside.

I love taking objects or ideas and using them in an unconventional way. The basket table is the perfect finishing touch on this little seating area in my old family room.

    I love it! And Target always has chargers, if you want to change the color scheme. 🙂

    Looks awesome. Love that the table doubles as storage. Love the modern look with the mirror but also the natural look of the basket. Oh, and I love those chairs. I saw one for sale at a yard sale and wanted it but didn’t have a place to put it so I had to pass.

    Where did you get the chairs? Is the pattern red?

    Haha, I like your use of that basket! Very clever. I’m also a big fan of things that can double as storage. 😉 I need all the storage I can get.
