So, you don’t really need a vintage sewing basket , but you love the look of the woven wicker? Just think outside the box!

Many vintage items can be reworked in our homes to fit our modern lifestyles.

The old telephone table with lamp becomes a drop-off zone for keys and a place to change your shoes at your front door.

As for the sewing basket, our friend Gladys uses hers as a caddy in her guest bathroom. Why not ? It’s perfect for stacking toilet paper rolls on the bottom and for towels and small items in the top. Its size allows it to fit easily between a sink and a toilet in a small powder room or guest bath.

This is our transformation…
