Basket makeover

I just finished this project last night and wanted to... is it ok to say "show it off?" I found this little beauty at a yard sale for a dollar. If you can't tell, it's an old picnic basket. And while it is very charming as is... I had plans for the unsuspecting little basket.So I hit the power tools and had a little fun. Yes those are my old college chemistry goggles for those of you wondering... but now they are ultra sweet power tool mom gear.

I ripped off the old top. Lined the whole basket with masonite to make it more sturdy. (Hooray for my new table saw... also from a yard sale. I know, its so sweet!) A yard of polka dot fabric, little hot glue and a lot of tiny screws later: my happenin' new basket! But hold the phone...


Now it's my guest bathroom, um... well I have haven't exactly figured out what to put in it, but hey, its done. (I just won't be showing my husband how many holes I put in the wall. Those stupid stud finders don't work!)
