Guest Picks: Contain Yourself

I don't have a lot of unused floorspace in my studio, so this wire basket that hangs on the wall is the perfect spot to store all of my blueprints.

These raffia trays are offered in really nice usable sizes. I would use the smallest, 12" x 12", on a bedside table. The texture is so pretty, and it would be perfect for holding a few magazines.

Tote it in style! This lightweight carrier is so cute, and it comes with an attached bottle opener.

This iPad case has such a pretty vintage look. The outside is made of straw with scalloped metal-edge details, and the inside is soft vegan leather. Flip it open and it becomes its own stand.

Hello, blast from the past! Remember the days when there were ashtrays on airplanes? Yes, kids, it's true. Well, here they are repurposed as the coolest storage trays ever. Wouldn't this be great on a man's dresser for storing loose change?

I know this vintage stacking tray was originally used in an office, but wouldn't it be a fun way to serve cupcakes? You could place the napkins and plates on the bottom tray and fill the top two trays with the cupcakes. And it would make transporting everything easy.

Even without a colorful bouquet, these handmade vases are still so bright all on their own.

I would love to fill a backyard with a dozen of these hanging holders. For a brunch, I would fill them with water and float a peony. At night, I would add little votives. But, honestly, my most favorite idea would be to hang one in my daughter's room for her goldfish.

Believe it or not, this lovely still-life painting contains an iPad. It's a one-of-a-kind case created from repurposed canvas and has a padded interior. It's perfect.

I can imagine redoing my studio storage and using nothing but these Pantone Boxes stacked from top to bottom!
