Old Toilet Turned into Functional Laundry Basket

I have a gorgeous old Victorian Wicker toilet that I just adore. It is meant to slide over a toilet and look elegant, however, the newer toilets are taller and it won't fit. I wanted to use it for something, so....it does look like a chair and the lid opens up. Hmmmmmmmm.

 Her she is in all her Glory

 Pick out some fabric, a little cushion for the seat, staple and glue gun required.

 Cut board to fit over the lid hole.

VOILA! She is grand again!

 I found a basket that slid under it just the right size!

 Close up of seat and details.

 You can barely see the basket which is perfect.

Isn't she a charming Laundry Basket?
