Have always been fond of suitcases for all the memories of adventures of new and far-off places . . . here, a vintage suitcase at the foot of the bed adds a worldly feeling of well-travelled nostalgia . . .
. . . while a stack of plywood cases, {similar to the handmade birch ones featured earlier}, make perfect places for storing foreign currencies, city guides, and memories.{images: 1 - photography by rachel whiting; 2 - flickr}

Beautiful room!
what fantastic plywood cases! perfect little storage spaces.
the room looks so quiet and serene. lovely.
these are so wonderful. packing a suitcase before a trip is one of life's greatest pleasures. xo
the room looks so calming!
and so terrif for small apartments (or bungalows, as the case may be) lacking in storage!
Love, love the mood that top photo creates, and those suitcases!
lovely!
my fave suitcases are the louis vuitton ones. not b/c it is vuitton but because of the history and design of the suitcases!!
so are you traveling anywhere? ;)
also, j'adore votre blog!
your blog is inspirational and i've been a fan of it for quite a while.

love the second set!
makes me wish I was leaving tomorrow on my trip..only two months...these are beautiful.
Joanna -- so beautifully said, and couldn't agree more :)
Elvia -- thanks so much! Traveling, yes, but not until the summer, unfortunately.
Jessica -- certain the months will fly by and you'll be leaving in no time . . .
I feel travel nostalgia too! These sets of old suitcases are lovely. Mismatched ones would look great too. :)
i have far too many vintage suitcases...now if only they matched or at least matched my color scheme so i can put them out, i have a great matching grey set of a suitcase and train case but they are holding sheets in my closet, and another bright bright pink one holding warm clothes. cute ways to store things!

I've been on the hunt for some fabulous, vintage suitcases. Thanks for the inspiration!
How relaxing - makes me want to vacation!
i've gotten lucky finding vintage cases/bags from goodwill. love the first photo.
Love the first picture, love old suitcases, love the vintage character...- very cute post!
Love those plywood cases - think there is something similar at the Conran Shop
I wouldn't have even thought of that idea with the suitcases but you're right. It does add a little more depth to the room.
OMG the plywood suitcases!
