Rolling Laundry Basket

6:00:00 AM

Adding wheels to your laundry

basket not only saves your back...

it's adorable!

My latest obsession is fixing up my laundry room.

I found these great wire baskets at Marshall's...

they had giant laundry basket written all over them!

What I didn't count on was that filled with laundry,

this "giant" laundry basket weighs a ton!

Yesterday on a trip to Ikea I found a

rolling plant stand

and an idea came to me right there in

the middle of Ikea with my mother!

By drilling a hole above each wheel...

I was able to slip a wire through the hole and around the

base of the wire basket.

The perfect solution for heavy laundry...

and Industrial chic too!

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box and I hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

Ingenious! I saw these cute baskets at Marshall's and never thought about using them as laundry baskets. I am always on the look out for baskets to use that aren't the regular plastic ones. Thanks for sharing!

I have no more new and unique ways to say *I love it* when you make something. I've run out. Gonna have to come up with a code just for you. I.L.I..
