Well, today is the day.
All of the stained and painted baskets I’ve done are right here.

Stained and Painted Baskets
This little tray basket was stuck in the ’70s but I pulled it out with some paint and a pretty Prima transfer.

This basket with lid and swing handles got a makeover on the inside and the outside.
It looks completely different now!

These two got a bit different treatment. Some stain, some paint, some dry brushing.
See them both “before” and all the makeover details, here.
I used paint on this dark basket and added a sign to make a doy toy basket.

Do you love baskets as much as I do? I use them all over my home.
And you don’t have to spend a fortune to decorate with them since you can usually find them all day long at the thrift store.
Nope…they aren’t always pretty but that’s what this post is for. Bring em home and change em up!

Fun Nancy! I love all the different methods you used to transform these ordinary baskets into beautiful, useful accessories! I’m saving this post too because the techniques apply to so many other things. Wonderful ideas!! Thank you!!
I’m so glad! Hoping this is helpful to others wanting to makeover baskets too! :) xo
WOW!!!! Huge differences! Can’t even believe they’re the same baskets, Nancy! Incredible!
Baskets are so much fun to makeover! :) xo
Hi Nancy! I do love baskets and now I know that I can stain them and make them look old, thanks to you!!
Yes, so fun!! xoxo
Thanks for putting all your baskets in one post! I’ve had to cut back on baskets because I’ve run out of spaces to display them(boo hoo). I know this is about wicker baskets but I also love those wire things that are used to pick up tennis balls; I have a collection and haven’t come up with a plan. I thought about using them like hanging baskets of flowers…maybe this Spring!!
Yes, that does happen!! lol Oh yes, those would be so pretty used that way! I like it! xoxo
Also, you could fill them with that moss, filler stuff (or something similar) and then put the planter down inside of that (where you can’t see it). That would be so pretty.
Some really great ideas here. thanks for sharing! Could you source your coffee table for me? I’m looking for a round wood table and this looks similar to what I’d like.
Thank you!
Hi Teri! I don’t, I’m sorry, it was a thrift store find. BUT apparently, they made quite a few of these as I’ve had more than a few readers say they have this exact table or they found it after seeing mine. (at thrift stores, etc) So keep an eye out at your local thrift stores, you never know! :)
All your baskets are gorgeous! So I guess I will try this after seeing these! I have a whole horde of baskets to play with. Wish me luck! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh yes, have fun with those, Vicki!! You’ll have all kinds of new treasures once you are done! :) xo
Love what you’ve done with these baskets. I have quite a collection and am now inspired to work on some of mine😉
That’s great, Karen! Have fun with your soon-to-be “new” treasures. It’s so much fun to transform them. :) xo
