Here's what decorating with wire baskets looks like when done coastal style, displaying seashells, driftwood and glass floats.

Fabulous looking vintage wire basket filled with driftwood sticks. Seen at Anything Goes Here. This really makes me want to grow my driftwood collection, and go on a treasure hunt for a cool vintage wire basket.

This wire basket, seen in one of Jane Coslick's Cottages, holds a collection of big chunky seashells. Sea treasures have to be a certain size, so they don't slip out of the openings.

The rustic look of old wire baskets is perfect for sea treasures that have been tumbled by the sea for years. They also bring some shabby chic to the decor. Original source no longer available.
