I took advantage of Hobby Lobby's 80% sale on all the remaining spring and summer decor to pick up some tobacco baskets. |
Two white oblong ones found a home on each side of the mirror over the sofa in the family room. |
I filled each of the baskets with a bush of pale pink roses. |
I left the rose bush intact and just tied it to the tobacco basket. I tied a cloth ribbon to the big stem at the bottom of the bush to conceal it. |
This was such an easy project......30 minutes from start to finish. |
I bought one big white tobacco basket. |
It found a home under the coffee table in the family room. I may put something in it later, but for now I like the simplicity of it empty. |
The last two tobacco baskets found a home on the shelves in the table at the end of the sofa. |
These baskets were a natural color and have a decorative metal strip across them. |
I have a second end table next to my chair that I cleaned up for the photo's......it usually is littered with all kinds of things. |
From my chair, I can see thru the sun room and out into the back yard. I have a vintage quilt that I pull across the opening at night for privacy. |
Til next time........ |
I love how you've used the baskets!! Great job! I also love how you've hidden the TV.....even better...makes the room cozy and relaxed

ReplyDeleteOh, I am so glad I found your blog via Pink Saturday because I LOVE everything about it! I have some tobacco baskets from when I lived in NC and cannot wait until we build our house to use them to decorate. Right now our house is too small for all the stuff we have.
