I received the new Pottery Barn Kids catalog in the mail today. I thumbed through it while my son was doing homework and I came across these adorable rattan baskets. While they are not very practical to use in bulk due to the shape, they would add a nice touch to a kids room or playroom while providing a little extra storage.
If you don’t have kids but have a thing for turtles or elephants you can use the baskets yourself. If you have a beachy theme going on the turtles would be quite useful to store magazines or books by your favorite comfy chair.
The elephant basket brought back some memories for me. I grew up with this rattan elephant table and I remember setting up barbies all around it pretending they were visiting some far off place.
I asked my mom about the table and she said it was a “had to have” item from her teenage years and my grandparents bought it for her. It stuck around for many years and we can’t recall whatever happened to it. Perhaps a yard sale. I know it was still around in the early 90′s. Let me tell ya, rattan holds up great! That poor elephant took a lot of abuse and always looked the same.
