Vintage Locker Baskets turned Shelves

With the new year upon us, it seems that everyone is into organization and storage, myself included. You guys should see the crap I’ve cleaned out of my closets! Since my Coke Crate Tie Organizer was such a big hit, I thought I would update an older post, DIY Metal Basket Shelving.

I just mounted (super easy!) old metal baskets to the wall and they became cookbook storage in my kitchen.
Cheap, easy, functional, and full of character!  Read all about how to do it here.

    I love metal baskets. I have one that I was going to put on the wall but I seem to be out of wall space, go figure! 😉

    Hi there! I know this is a pretty old post, but I have a question! What did you use to mount these? We mounted some long baskets and they left huge holes in the wall that were costly to repair. 🙁
