Picked up this lovely Shabby Chic Décor Quick Tip from an awesome local décor shop, Chichobello, who loves this idea just as much as we do…

#22  Add a quirky Shabby Chic element to your bedroom or living room by using stacked vintage suitcases as bedside pedestals or side tables. Rummage through your local second-hand shops and flea markets for old pieces of luggage – suitcases, trunks, and storage boxes. If the suitcases are a bit banged-up or too mismatched for your liking, a fresh lick of paint will do the trick – try a fresh white, calming pastels or maybe bright pops colour!
