Sisal Pendant Lamp

Sisal Pendant Lamp How gorgeous! For this particular project, Ashley used a wire planter basket as base. She then covered it with sisal rope to give it a more rustic vibe. Other materials that she used to make this fantastic DIY pendant lamp are outlet cover plate, spray paint, and of course, the pendant light fixture. Design variation: you can use a ready-made basket as pendant lamp instead of creating your own.

Pallet Storage

Pallet Storage This method of upcycling baskets will give you a rustic home decor as well. To make this, will be hanging a wire basket to a piece of wood pallet. You then hang this pallet in your bathroom to store face towels or in other parts of your home where pretty storage for tiny things is a must.

Wire Shelving

Wire Shelving You have probably seen clever shelving made of crates and drawers. One of the ways to upcycle baskets is to use them as shelves, too. For the project above, Stacey actually combined crates and basket to make uniquely beautiful shelves. She shares: Combine the crates with some vintage wire baskets, by drilling two holes and anchors/screws in the wall, hang basket on screws. Easy-peasy!

I love to use one of those vegetable 3 tier hanging baskets hanging from the crawling in my shower/bathtub area. Holds lots of things, keeps things off the shelves and is at an arms reach whenever I need something

This is great. Just mentioned this in twitter n in fb

Love it all except for the lamp one... Wouldn't using a basket be kind of blinding when you turn it on?
