Yes. I pulled this forgotten metal bicycle basket out of the actual garbage can while we were walking our dog. My husband looked at me like I was crazy, but I was thrilled! I can see how this, with a little love and reshaping, would make a fabulous addition to our home.

One idea is to hang it in the bathroom to house lightweight items like toilet paper and/or washcloths and hand towels. Another thought was to utilize it in the kitchen for storage of onions/potatoes and the like, after a good cleaning of course! The possibilities are endless….

And, while I was at it, I had to get a picture of Bonsai inside the basket. I mean, really, how cute is this?

Do you have ideas on how to incorporate this item into a home? I’m interested in hearing your thoughts!

Rust is beautiful. I’m a little obsessed with it. Now, I’ll just let you enjoy these photos taken in La Jolla at Children’s Pool. I love how nature leaves it mark on the things we create. It’s lovely.
