Friday I'm in love

Happy Friday! Today I am in love with this fantastic idea from My Sweet Savannah.  Melaine bought a big pretty basket from Ikea that is just the right size to hold a cooler! When we have parties we usually use a cooler for extra drinks and I have to tell you, coolers just don't do it for me. But this basket does!


Are you loving this adorable corner in her dining room?




I can think of a lot of things to store in there when we are not entertaining. I really need to make a trip to Ikea, how about you?

    Oh yes! I hate hate hate a cooler sitting around. So far, I've just made the guests suffer, but, now that I have a very good reason, I see a trip to Ikea in my future.

    Love that! I wanted one of those baskets from IKEA the last time I was there, but worried my husband would make fun of me. He laughs every time I bring home a basket...

    hi Londen!
    I was just at Ikea yesterday and these trunks are great! I would have bought one myself, but recently found an old one with a rounded top at a shop for $18! I saw this idea a O so D too! (on my sidebar) if you'd like to see other photos!

    Great idea! I was just at IKEA for white wood hangers and I missed this, but that's what's great about all of this...another trip to IKEA won't hurt.
