Remember the days when luggage had to be (eh, hem) lugged around? Now a days, most of us travel with sleek, light-weight bags that glide along on sturdy skateboard wheels to speed us on our way. What to do with all those non-rolling vintage pieces? Why, repurpose them into nostalgic, stylish furniture! Whether stacked, stuffed, or hung, you’ll end up with a whole lot of charm and character that’ll pack a professional decorator’s punch. Bon voyage!
