A tisket a tasket a green,purple and pink basket!

Thought I would share a Thrift Store find of mine. These awesome little baskets were super cheap, like a few quarters cheap. Not fond of the colors! But nothing a can of spray paint can't fix...love that line!
Wanted some organization in our office. There's always a his/her and other pile...so, as you can see, I spray painted them black, added a tag made out of a brown paper grocery bag, tied w/twine....


and now our his/hers and other piles are stylishly organized! (sorry for the poor lighting)


I think I just might link these up somewhere like:
