Decor Steals – Vintage Laundry Basket & Giveaway

A few years ago, I found a vintage wire laundry basket in an antique store when out shopping with my friend.  I loved that piece and held onto it for a long time.  Then, one year at Lucketts, I sold out of almost everything the first day, so I raided my house and took the laundry basket to sell.  I don’t regret selling it, but I do think about it now and then.  So, when the girls at Decor Steals showed me a reproduction they had sourced, I was excited to check them out.  They look almost exactly like the other one I had AND they even come with liners!

AND they are the deal of the day today!

The liners come with an option to have a monogram added.  Of course, I chose blue and white with an M monogram.

Th big basket is really big, which would be good to use as an actual hamper, but you need a big spot for it.  I see the small basket being best for smaller things like toilet paper, toys, magazines or hand towels.

And I love the wire legs and the wheels, which function very well.

And the baskets fold flat for easy shipping and storage when not in use.  Really cool piece, right!

Here’s a peek at some upcoming sales…

  11. I have an actual old one of these. It was from a grocery store that closed in the 60’s it was used to hold potatoes, onion that sort of thing.. At one time I had 4 of them, they were wonderful storage in my antique booth for linens and quilts. At present I have one in my laundry room and one I keep outside in the summer to hold my pool toys for the grand kids Several years ago I did hit one with a touch of silver spray paint…but it is well over 60-70 years old and still serving many purposes…love the giveaway…MM

  185. I saw the small and large laundry basket offering today and another comment on saying it was much less expensive including shipping at Pottery Barn versus DECOR STEALS…..DECOR STEALS ALWAYS has better savings and offers. I would never think to venture past DECOR STEALS. They have the loveliest customer service and best packaging. Seriously, why would anyone shop anywhere else. Plus, I like the 10 AM release time of a new item – I have to be near a computer to check it out! Plus, the great suprise factor with FLASH Offerings. It’s fun to shop at DECOR STEALS. Thank you!

  316. I really love both baskets but if I had to choose something it would have to be the VINTAGE EUROPEAN | DISTRESSED OVERSIZED POCKET WATCH. My hubby loves clocks and his birthday is coming up and this would be perfect for him and a bonus decor for me.

I also craved the one at Pottery Barn but the price and shipping put me off. I have Pottery Barn furniture all over my house and this item will fit right in my laundry area of my 108 year old cottage on Puget Sound…Thank you for sharing this item and making it available…

  415. Decor Steal’s is great! I already receive their email and have ordered from them a couple of times.

  488. I prefer the lanterns, but the clock is also very cool and would be a close second!
