I found two amazing suitcases at a thrift store a few months ago and have been scouring the web for ideas on what to do with them besides stuff them into an already packed closet. Since my sixty-five pound puppy is a bit too large for the vintage suitcase pet beds Polly posted about over at Make Nice, I'm still on the hunt. How about some chairs? I'm not sure I'll be able to pull off what Katie Thompson of Recreate in Cape Town has come up with, but I can definitely drop my jaw and stare in awe. A fellow junker, Katie has made a series of gorgeously upholstered pieces of furniture out of old suitcases. If you're lucky enough to be close to the Recreate studio in Cape Town, you're invited to drop off your own suitcases for Katie to stylishly update. They also ship worldwide.
