Hi Casasugar,
I was recently browsing your site (very nice!) and saw something I hope you can help me get more info on. I saw a DIY on making your own cereal box magazine holder, and there's a pierced plastic lace basket that I love. If you have or can get any information on this, you'd be my best friend forever.

You might have seen the Design House Stockholm Carrie Shopping Basket when I featured it in my Not Your Grandma's Lace Trend Alert, or even snuck a peek of it used as a magazine holder in my very own house. I must admit, I shelled out $44 for the basket from Zinc Details — kind of a lot for my shelter mag storage, but I couldn't resist! When I caught it selling for $37 at Unica Home, I felt a little cheated.

Whether you desire to hide family heirlooms from burglars, your unmentionables from your cleaning lady, or you just need to quickly get messy knick-knacks out of the way, a storage box in disguise is key. The Modern-Twist PJ Pocket Pillow ($60, reduced from $105) will do just that, revealing your stash of lady mags or gold bullion with a twist of its simple pillow-like façade. Choose from a blue or yellow squirrel pattern, or green or orange elephants.

These 48-drawer Swimming Pool Basket Lockers ($600) were once the keepers of some groovy retro swimsuits and certainly not produced for home storage. But they've got a great industrial-style look to them that I think is worthy of personal use. In the past, the dealer's customers used the lockers to store vegetables, sewing supplies, porno (!), and socks.

The classic Shaker style of the Gaiam Step Basket ($29, from $60) may not appeal to the modernists out there, but I think we can all appreciate its functionality. Maybe it's just me, but I think the mother of every friend I had growing up used to leave her family's things (sneakers, magazines, laundry, etc.) at the base of the stairs to be picked up. There's nothing neat about leaving things laying on the stairs, but a step basket will keep things looking tidy, and you can carry it with you on your way up.
