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.
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. When you have a small house, every inch counts. See the biggest one on the bottom? You are looking at the official shipping department of Jennifer Rizzo Designs.
I think a mismatch of frames, mirrors and pictures add interest. I have a weakness for vintage botanical and bird prints.
I love how it all kind of goes together underneath my big broken clock in a mismatchy sort of way. It was a great way to get unstuck and start the creative juices flowing again. :)












Love it!! The suitcases are great way to store stuff and they also look so fantastic. I have managed to find only one so far. It stores kids' legos...

ReplyDeleteLove 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
