project: suitcases

Decorating with suitcases, especially mismatched vintage ones are very popular right now! They do look great stacked creating an extra table or just for storage - and they can be inexpensive too. Here are some of my favorite ideas for decorating with suitcases while travelling around the blogs:

Catie's Corner: pack your bags... - inspiring ideas

Red Hen Home: making an entrance - suitcases into shelves

Max & Fodder: vintage suitcase dog bed - it's adorable!

Mamie Jane's: vintage suitcase clock - fabulous idea

Jennifer Rizzo: some living room rearranging - how to stack them

Maple & Magnolia: upcycled luggage and a contest - transformed with plaid

Renewing Your Find Cafe: well traveled trunk... - decoupaged with wheels
