About baskets being considered an unfasionable Country style: there are some places in the U.S. where the Home and Country style is still alive and considered fasionable. Arkansas is one of them. I don't have any trouble selling baskets here, even in the inner cities Now, I'm not talking about a huge metropolis, but Little Rock is the largest city in Arkansas and I have no difficulty selling baskets here. <br /><br />With that aside, I think that baskets, no matter the designed interior, function as organizational items, as well as aesthetic interest. Before I returned to graduate school, I was a certified interior designer. My teacher was a huge admirer of baskets and what they can do for a space. How else are you going to keep those contemporary ( as in modern) lines so clean? I don't care what style one designs in, clutter in any space is completely unfashionable. I try to stress this in my own basket selling. Baskets come in all different designs, and not just country interiors. There are some baskets that can work in the most modern or even futuristic interiors.Janita R.

Much better than the hypothetical name my husband blurted out for me early on..."Armpit Baskets". He wasn't serious, but I was hurt at the time...now I just think it's funny.Juliana/A Hand Woven Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796037998414244735noreply@blogger.com
