Finally, a use for my collection of miniature suitcases

Media_httpwwwapartmen_npiqc

I can turn one into a medicine cabinet! Now I just have to find something to do with all the rest. I bet you could make awesome spice racks like this too.

Any other ideas of what I can do with all my tiny vintage suitcases?

Happy weekend one and all.

    this is so clever! I love it! It’d be perfect for a craft supply storage unit or could be fun for painters (I come from a family of artists) to store their brushes!

    I’m so happy that you stumbled on me and in turn I get to stumble on you! At first glance I can tell you this: I LOVE the suitcase idea, I grumble every morning about our sad bathroom mirror situation. 2, I also really love the pillow on your sofa below (hi down there!) and 3, I’m incredibly impressed that you iron all of your summer dresses when retrieving them for the season…embarrassingly, I’m generally digging through the storage container 8 minutes before we need to be somewhere on the first warm day of Spring. Glad to ‘know’ you! :)
