Staggered Vintage Suitcases

In my last posting, I stated that I wanted to sell the vintage dress form mannequin....Sold!
And this is what I put in it's place....a huge stack of staggered vintage suitcases! I loved this look of staggering them, instead of being in a straight as a board stack! Saw the idea on Pinterest! For now this is what I love for this corner! Noticed I said *For Now* You just never know what I will be changing next!
I brought in my *Made in Paris* dress form....That I absolutely love with the suitcases!
And here is a full room view, well almost...I am loving the darker colors more for this room!
and here is the before shot....Better? Comments are welcome and appreciated! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by!

Guest Bedroom Makeover~ RL & Burlap

Today I thought I would share a bedroom makeover I did this week....Using what I already have....Just bought a new Ralph Lauren comforter set from T.J Maxx...I thought this particular set would look great with my burlap pillow slips...Some recent finds...vintage beaded light bulb covers...these are very hard to find! I found them at an estate sale for only 5.00 each! Right now they are nesting in this 3 tier wire display with other vintage treasures until I find some pretty lamps to use them on!

A close-up of some vintage silver brushes, mirrors, antique lace, millinery flowers, tiaras, etc..
A vintage dress form dressed all in cream, from head to toe...
One of my favorites, Hanging on the closet door, Is the antique dress slip covered in vintage lace around the bottom!! So pretty!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day! Be sure to check back, I will be posting about some more recent finds....
