What happens to the lost, the broken, the damaged…..you must be curious about what I am referring too. What happens to defective home decor pieces. I am sure that some are damaged and broken during shipping, some break after they get to the store and by total accident a few must have an oops on the way home. A lot of these items end up in discount stores.
For someone who loves a good deal this can be quite lucrative.
A few months ago I was walking around a local discount store and I spotted this cute little orange natural fiber basket. Wondering what was wrong with it (I was in a discount store) I quickly and oh so nonchalant did a walk-run over to pick it up.
To my surprise it looked great. From further inspection I realized that it was supposed to be round but was a little munched and looked more oval than round. No problem.
I proudly put the broken basket in my cart and brought it home. The best $5 spent that day!
This basket has made it’s debut a few times on the blog, like here and here. It’s the perfect size for staging a post. It has also been known to hold all sorts of odds and ends. The ovalness gives it character. So glad I rescued this little basket.
For a bunch more pictures and some great ideas of creating a DIY tablescape for your next Halloween dinner party I am over at The Home Depot blog sharing all of it.
I would absolutely love it for you to come over and say hi.
Which one of my DIY’s is your favorite?

Your closest friend may find out about it, but try to avoid telling anyone else about your status as a side chick.
It is important to keep the relationship as much of a secret as possible. Ideally, only you and your partner should know about the relationship.
