Decorate With Vintage Suitcases

Shabby chic Bedroom by A Beach Cottage 
 Have you started to notice stacks of vintage suitcases popping up in styled magazine shoots and retail window displays? It's a pretty clever way to add whimsy to your home without spending big bucks. Since this decorative idea hasn't hit the mainstream yet the antique dealers haven't snapped them all up yet to gauge prices. Almost any vintage store I have visited recently has many underappreciated suitcases for you to scoop up and turn into an inexpensive side table or interesting display. Better yet, bring out grandpa's old suitcases from the attic and celebrate a traveled life. And can we talk about the hidden storage potential?
And of course, this look is not just for the well heeled and traveled elite. It has the hipster cred as seen in this music room along with a vintage America school map and repurposed flat files.
