I have had blankets shoved under my end table to the point that the poor thing was literally popping open. I knew I needed an alternative (since I HAVE to have the blankets- I'm cold blooded!) and my mom had this great basket:
It was chippy but I figured that'd be fine for my purposes and maybe even give it some more character. So I did nothing to prep the surface (as is normal!) :)
Then I coated it with Krylon Leather Brown Gloss. (One coat looks a little stripey)
It still has the chippy character. I am not sure I actually like it, but don't people work really hard for that finish?
After 2 coats it looked pretty good. I think it looks fine next to my couch, but I hope we won't be needing the blankets anytime soon. I don't look forward to winter...
I'm always pretty excited about what some Krylon can do! :)

I think it looks great! I am cold blooded too. I need something to put our blankets in. I was just folding them and stuffing them under the end tables, but a basket is a fantastic idea!! Salvation Army...here I come!
