Decorating with Vintage Suitcases
Sometimes when I feel creatively stuck, it helps me to do something entirely different. So on the fly two day ago I decided to rearrange my living room and decorate with vintage suitcases that I had spread round the house. I love using these not only for decorating, but it allows me to have extra storage in our cozy house in plain, but pretty site.
I had one corner I wasn’t sure what to do with, so I decided to play a little bit with a set of vintage suitcases I use for display at shows and some picture frames.
I love old suitcases and they make such great hidden storage. Like I said, when you have a small house, every inch counts. See the biggest one on the bottom? Right now You are looking at the official shipping department of Jennifer Rizzo Designs.
I love themismatch of frames, mirrors and pictures and how they add interest. I have a weakness for vintage botanical and bird prints.
Whether you stack vintage suitcases or find another creative way to use them, theyall kind of goes together in a mis-matchy sort of way. It was a great way to get repurpose them and still enjoy how good they look together.

Love your vintage suitcases. I have several myself. They are almost next to impossible to find at the thrift anymore. I think lots of other people love this look too.

Love the suitcases and the frames together a wonderful look. One night I got the bug to rearrange my living room while my husband was sleeping and moved things from other rooms in there and other things out. Next day my husband thought I had bought all new items! It is good to change things up. Laura Cottage and Broome
