tage Clam and Oyster baskets are a HOT commodity! I am always on the hunt for the best ones in antique stores or at our local Alameda Flea Market. Versatile for so many practical and pretty ideas at a beach home.
This gorgeous outdoor candle chandelier basket is on of my favorite ideas! Love how easy this outdoor party look was to create - add moss, rope and candles and you have created a warm romantic glow for an fun summer party.
Here are a few more of my fave ideas for metal Clam or Oyster baskets that we've put together to spark your imagination!
1. A convenient, seaside basket idea to store extra pillows, blankets and towels. The more rustic the better for a true beach cottage look!
2. Show off your beach gathered driftwood!
3. Practical use for firewood for a beach fire, or to use inside with a nautical-rustic decorating scheme.
4. A handy spot to show off your nautical charts? (LOVE this! Spotted in Seattle in a shop window)
5. Of course you could actually use a clam basket for collecting clams or oysters!
Just in case you are not lucky enough to have a great flea market or antique shops near you, we still have a few suggestions from our store that might work for your beach home too!
