Today I’m sharing in another fun blog hop hosted by my talented friend Amber from Follow The Yellow Brick Home. I’m so excited to be joining all these ladies today as we share in Bountiful Baskets – how we decorate our homes for fall using baskets. If you’re stopping over from Kelly at The Tattered Pew, welcome! I always love her style, especially her cozy fall decor! 

I have to admit I was a little surprised at my “lack” of baskets. I’m thinking I need to go out and buy more, but as I was looking around our home I noticed I have many trays but not so many baskets. I think we’ll need to fix that πŸ˜‰ 

A couple weeks ago I shared our Farmhouse Fall home tour and you might’ve caught a peek at a few baskets around our home in that post.

Let’s take a peek into our living room first…

I always have a tray on our coffee table and for fall I also added a basket I picked up at TJ Maxx. I love the combination of different textures with the wire bottom and the woven top. It’s filled with some cute little pumpkins that I got at Hobby Lobby. 

Something you’ll always find in our living room are blankets and throws. I’m always cold and we all love curling up on the couch with a blanket. 

Technically, that crate beside the couch isn’t really a ‘basket’ but it holds more blankets and books. It was one of my first DIYs I ever shared on my blog and you can read all about The Great Crate Challenge my friends and I did. I picked up the olive basket on the mantle this fall and added some neutral faux florals in it. 

(On a little side note, our fireplace is one of my very favorite makeovers my husband has done in our home. You can see before pictures and how we transformed it in this post. It’s crazy to think of what it used to look like!)

These shelves in our playroom-turned-office are one of my favorite spots to decorate. That little basket that holds the pumpkin on the second shelf was actually in my friend’s trashcan and I rescued it πŸ˜‰ I can’t let a cute wire basket go to the dump, right??

Here’s a little close up of the shelves. πŸ™‚ 

I love this old egg basket that holds some more books and magazines. This basket actually holds lots of memories for me. I grew up on a farm and we every fall we used to gather potatoes with these baskets.

And before you go, let’s take a little peek outside at one more basket! I won’t tell you how many of these I have πŸ˜‰ My husband keeps teasing me that he’ll sell some! I think white pumpkins would look better in them, but I really don’t like buying a ton only to see them get thrown out! These two are actually the ones our kids will carve so that’s why we bought orange ones. πŸ™‚ 

Thanks SO much for stopping by today! There’s so much more Bountiful Baskets inspiration from all my blogging friends, so pour yourself another cup of coffee or an apple cider and enjoy looking through them all!

    Kendra you cracked me up with your strike through sentence about going out and buying more! I think you have some adorable baskets! I love the big hyacinth basket with the plaid blanket scarf. Like you I am always cold so baskets are great for keeping cozy throws close at hand,
    Great save on the little wire basket from going to the dump!
    Your yellow egg basket is awesome, and I love it with the orange pumpkin! I also loved reading about how you grew up on farm. I love learning new facts about blogging friends through hops and tours!

    Thanks so much for joining us on this hop. Happy fall!

      Thanks for all your sweet words, Amber! This hop was so fun and such a different one, showcasing something we all have in our homes. (I still think I need to buy some more πŸ˜‰ but I’ll keep my eye open when thrifting or yard saling! Thanks again for all your hard work, sweet lady!

    Kendra, love all your basket uses, but the best ones are those we can relate to such as you can with the wire baskets used for gathering potatoes. That’s one of my favorite things in dealing with antiques and vintage items – to hear customers (and even my sisters and I when we shop) recall good memories in the things we find and keep.

    • Kendra says:

      I totally agree, Rita! Meaningful pieces are so much more special! I bet you and your sisters have such good times treasure hunting together! Thank you so much for stopping by xo
