Today I'm sharing an awesome vintage French wall vase basket. I did the happy dance when I came across it at a local pop-up estate sale. Continue reading to find out what, exactly, is a vintage French wall vase basket, and what I did with it. It transformed my fall living room!

Okay -- so you don't often find these beauties out in the wild, which is why I was so excited to find it! Previously, I'd only seen one (from a brocante in France), for sale online. I've always been a lover of all things French and I've been trying to bring my decorating sense back to that vision. And this vintage French wall basket certainly helped with that!
I found it at a local pop-up estate sale for $10.00. And I knew right away how special it was.
I couldn't wait to get it home and fill it with faux fall floral picks.
I filled this vintage French wall basket with six different fall floral picks (listed below, with links to suggested similar items), then added a small, seasonal sign to make a statement:
1) fall colored eucalyptus picks (olive green)
2) fall colored eucalyptus picks (golden)
3) Beige faux hydrangea floral pick
6) Pumpkin & berries pick
7) Small wooden seasonal sign with wood beads
Once I decided on the combination of floral picks I wanted to use, I got to work filling the French wall basket to its brim with a mix of those faux fall floral colors and textures.
I've been trying to get away from using only the more "traditional" fall colors in my fall decorating, and I think I hit the nail on the head with this floral arrangement.
And here she is, exhausted, after "helping out" with the photo shoot!
Even after all that, I couldn't help but feel that something was missing. So I added a small wooden Dollar Tree fall-themed sign and my French basket wall hanging was complete.
I think the blue velvet pumpkin, front and center, really pulled it all together.
This colorful faux floral arrangement fills my French farmhouse living room with seasonal warmth. You may not find a vintage French wall basket any time soon, but you can certainly fill a thrift store basket with faux floral stems and recreate this classic fall vibe.
UPDATE:
I recently found a similar basket online. It's not vintage, but it's beautiful! Check out this Hanging Willow Door Basket to see for yourself.
