family room.<br \/>\n&#8211;Store extra pillows, blankets or books in the bedroom.<br \/>\n&#8211;Great to corral books, letters, notepads in your work area.<br \/>\n&#8211;Receptacle to fill with candy, bath salts, or other goodies.<br \/>\n&#8211;Fabulous in organizing knitting or craft projects<br \/>\n&#8211;Keep towels, tissue, or toilet paper handy in the powder room.<br \/>\n&#8211;Provide a pleasing receptacle for recyclables.<br \/>\n&#8211;Attractively accommodate outgoing mail, books, or car keys in an entry way.<br \/>\n&#8211;Makes a nice visual element in a
