Works for me Wednesday – Toy storage basket

28 Comments

Hello and welcome! Guess whats working for me this week? Okay I’ll tell you because you’ll never guess……my new basket! Yay! Not just any basket either…..it’s a pretty under the coffee table lined basket that is just perfect for……..baby toys! Thanks to my dear friend for the SuperValue heads up. I was using an unsightly plastic tote up till I found this beauty and I just couldn’t be happier. It slides in and out easily and tucks away ever so nicely. I’m giddy with delight!!! Check it out:



It definitely works for me! For more wonderful Works for me Wednesday tips and tricks, visit Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer.

  1. Great basket!! I store Little Man’s toys in baskets too. I love that one though!!!

  3. GREAT basket! Love it! Thanks for visiting my blog! I love your blog, too! Will definitely be sharing your tips with my readers! Especially the school ones…I’m woking on a post about back to school…and you’ll be part of it! : )

  5. IT is so great! I LOVE it! – That could double for a TAckle It Tuesday! 🙂

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

  8. 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!

  10. 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.

  12. I absolutely love the lined baskets…they are so pretty…and practical, too!!! Looks great!

  13. 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!

  15. 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!

  16. 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).

  17. 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.

  18. Great idea!!

    Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a post about how you organize your paperwork? Do you have a filing cabinet? How do you sort? I’m drowning in paper!!

  20. A great idea indeed! And a cool basket too. I’m with jazzhands on the “drowning in paper”. I also would love your ideas on dealing with papers!!

  21. 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.

  22. Supervalue hey? I just happen to be staying at my parent’s house. Will check it out tomorrow!!

  23. Wow! I love that it looks so nice and so still so functional – very clever!

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

  25. 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.

  27. 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.
