   I just did this with some of Little Brother’s favorite games. Tidy storage AND easy access :)

   Uh oh! I’m coveting your basket. Where, pray tell, did you find it? Please tell me it was some big, all over the country, chain store giant!

    I purchased it from SuperValue which is a grocery store here in BC, Canada where I live…a most unlikely place to find a basket but I was sure glad I did…I’ve been looking for years to find something that fit under my coffee table.

    I have a basket very similiar to this under my coffee table! Mine holds our school books that we read while sitting on the couch. It is so nice to have them so close at hand…and so attractive at the same time. Great idea!

    That is a great basket. I keep the girl’s toys in baskets in the living room too, but mine aren’t lined and pretty like yours! :) Mine are also overflowing … maybe that is something I need to put on my TO DO List for today.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Another great idea! Thanks! I am saving that for when I have a coffee table again. (We have little ones who might hit their heads on it. I am happy every time they fall on the big soft ottoman). ;) I have never seen a big square basket like that! For anyone in the U.S. looking for lined baskets though, you can send them to crafts stores like Michael’s (and children’s stores for higher prices).

    how cool is that? I don’t have a coffee table, or baby toys, but I can think of 2 places off the top of my head that I can use that.

    Great idea! We got a few ice tub like things from Target that are bright colored with wood handles and generally match our decor, excellent for toys as well.

    Great idea! That’s space that is unused anyway, so it’s perfect for toys. Thanks!

    I have actually been looking for a baskt to go under one of my end tables. We have a tall basket but I’m wanting to move it to his room. Great idea…..works for me too.

    What a great idea, and the right size too - I’m going to Ikea tomorrow to see if they have something like this I can buy.
