Dollar Store Baskets

I used to think the dollar store was only good for cheap party decorations or to get a cheap puzzle for my son. Boy was I wrong! I found these cute little wall baskets that I thought would look good for the wall in between the living room and dinning room. I bought 3 and a couple of flowers:

I ended up only using two of the baskets on the wall and plan to use the other one for my front door.

Here are my baskets now hanging on the wall between the dinning room window and kitchen:

Can you spot the tiny U.S Flag pin in this picture? My husband got it at his veteran's lunch last year and he decided the curtain was the best place to place it. These are the curtain panels I plan on replacing with something a little more colorful, I spotted some really nice fabric on my last IKEA trip and thought it would be great for the dinning room. I now have an excuse reason to go back to IKEA.

While on my little trip to the dollar store I found this cute little oil bottle:

I love it! Even the cashier asked where I found it! I really needed an oil bottle since we purchase our olive oil at Costco and it comes in a huge plastic container.

Here are some awesome projects with the dollar baskets I found while blog browsing.

Ms Not So Perfect made some lovely spring baskets for her front doors using the same dollar store baskets:
