apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I am seeing this trend pop up everywhere - boxes, baskets, crates, etc. I think it's a really great move to reuse resources and it's a colorful, contemporary take on the bohemian vibe that is so popular these days.

Yes, I second what SaraO said...it's everywhere now! It's a great way to reuse and it actually looks good too! The vase in the second picture is unique, I haven't seen that style before but it's very attractive.

Yeah, I saw the rolled vase at Anthropologie. Although, you wouldn't be able to put real flowers in them. They would be ruined if they got wet. But for decoration on their own, they are interesting.

I've admired these, but worried that their colors would fade quickly.

i just bought a set of three of these woven baskets at joann fabric (50% off!). they are made of newspaper (asian characters) and so look like they might fray if put to heavy use. i think i'd look for glossy paper next time. i love them, though!
