Since we’ve been in this 920 sq ft apartment, keeping things tidy + organized has been a problem. like, it’s been embarrassingly messy. + when you’re in a small but open space, the mess feels even more overwhelming because it’s all visible all the time. i was complaining to logan about it a couple weeks ago + came to the realization it was because we didn’t have anything in place to hold things. things were just being left on the floor + put on the table or countertop because there wasn’t a designated spot to put them in goodpick to the rescue!
i’ve bought a couple throw blankets since we’ve been here because we’re a movie-watching, couch-snuggling family + the apartment wasn’t furnished with any good snuggly blankets. this basket is the perfect spot to hold them when we’re not watching a movie! plus it adds a cozy touch to our living room. the woven texture + color add some warmth to this otherwise pretty plain space.
along with blankets being left around the house, we’ve had a real problem with dirty clothes lying here, there, + everywhere. the apartment came with a plastic laundry basket, but no hamper for dirty clothes to go in. i don’t know about you guys, but one laundry basket is not enough for this family of four. we needed a spot to keep the dirty clothes confined.
this hamper has done just the trick! it’s large, so it can fit all of our dirty clothes in it for a few days before it gets too full. we use the other basket for clean clothes, too! i love that these baskets can be used for a variety of purposes.
+ again, i love the little bit of cozy they bring. woven textures + warm tones like cream + brown make a place feel relaxed + calm which is exactly the vibe i want for my home. i want my family + friends to walk in + feel at peace, like they can take a deep breath + relax for a while.
