…Favorite Things Friday – Reclaimed Applewood Basket

February 15, 2013 by christen | 4 Comments

As much as we want vintage sometimes we have to shop retail for the look and convenience. It can also be a bit easier if we get a vintage-craving on a Saturday night and just need to shop! I know I can’t be the only one this happens to.

I have a very similar wood basket that I keep on my living room console and have little green plants inside. I think it’s so versatile. Just like an old dough bowl, this piece could go in the middle of your kitchen table. You could fill it with fruit or even dried artichokes or dried pomegranate. Or how about your family room for magazines and books?

I’ve ordered from NapaStyle before and have been happy. They also have a true vintage online shop called NapaStyle Barn Door. Just be warned that you will pay higher prices than if you treasure-hunted yourself.

Happy Friday, Lovelies!

    Christen, where did you end up finding your big dough bowl. Trying to decide if I should splurge on the PB one or if I can find one somewhere else. I’ve been looking forever! Thanks!

      Hi Heather! I found mine on Ebay. I am getting my hands on about 5 vintage ones in the next few weeks if you want one. Of course not sure of size at the moment. Looks like PB found these and they are a good size if you are anxious to get it (which I totally understand)!!!

        By the way, I have seen many on eBay but mostly out of the US. Is that how yours was? I was nervous!
