Hang a Basket on the Wall for Extra Storage.
Elite among baskets is the American-made Longaberger basket, made by the Longaberger Company and sold directly to consumers via independent home consultants. The basket-making roots of the Longaberger family date back to 1919. Longaberger baskets are sturdy, decorative and provide storage. Baskets instead of paper or plastic sacks were once the common mode of carting groceries and sundries. While the baskets can still be used to transport these items, they have many other uses. Does this Spark an idea?
Large
Longaberger baskets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The larger baskets can add storage space by being decorative as they store items in plain sight. Blankets, towels and household items may be stored in a larger basket. Large baskets also make attractive picnic baskets or a place to store craft or sewing items. Use a large Longaberger basket as a clothes hamper or a place to collect magazines and newspapers. Baskets of all sizes can be used as gift baskets, waiting to be filled by the giver.
Medium
Medium-sized Longaberger baskets might be round, square or rectangular. The Round Potluck Basket comes with a 2-quart covered casserole dish for attractive serving at outings or potlucks. Medium-sized baskets will fit easily on bathroom or kitchen counters, bookshelves or desks to store books, papers or other small items. Longaberger baskets can be used for serving food, such as bread. Many come with washable inserts, to make serving food more convenient. Fabric inserts come with the Journal Basket, Beverage Tub Basket and the Library Basket.
Small
Some Longaberger baskets can be hung on the wall. The pictured Longaberger basket is used to store attachments for the food processor. However, it could also be hung by the telephone to hold ink pens, a pad of paper or other small items. Small baskets can be used to hold extra bars of soap in the bathroom or kitchen utensils in the kitchen. On the dressing table, they can store makeup or jewelry; in the art room, they can hold paintbrushes.
