White Painted Baskets

I am loving the baskets with the white painted bottoms they are showing in all the catalogs this year. 




So I'm taking it upon myself to create some of my own.  

I bought large willow baskets from the thrift store and
wrapped some painters tape around them.



 then started painting.








 I hung them on a tree to dry.





 I took the tape off and just quickly touched up my "straight" 
line a little bit with a thin brush.





 The white bottoms instantly turned my thrift store baskets into something special.





 And now they're hanging from a beam in my kitchen.

    It's still so lush and green where you live! Love the basket idea. Can imagine taking this in many directions. Red, white and blue for national holidays. Red and green for Christmas and so on....
