Lost Sock Basket for the Laundry Room

When my children were young I used

this now antique basket for their winter mittens.

It was a basket my family used for picnics when I was a little girl.

I hand-painted The Three Little Kittens story around the handles and across the top many years ago.

Now I use it in my laundry room for lost socks.

It's just a treasure of my own, not found at a thrift store, 
garage sale or on the side-of-the road 
that has become legitimately antiqued over time.

I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
