We're off on a jet plane today, leaving San Francisco and headed to the City of Lights, Paris. Tom and I have known about this for quite awhile, and have planned for months to make this all happen - can't believe we are actually leaving this afternoon! What to do! Am overwhelmed with all of the culture, museums, cafes, wine and window shopping, and maybe a little more shopping... Have been scanning Pinterest and have had my trusty French Seaside Style book open for inspiration for treasures that I might have to bring home in my suitcase....linens, handbags, perfume, travel posters - possiblities are endless. Hmmm... maybe I had better unpack some stuff out of my suitcase so that I have more space! Or maybe I could just pick up another suitcase? Enjoy my eye-candy collection! All sources for blogs and photography can be found on my Pinterest Board, "Get the Look - French Seaside Style" We are going with guidebooks, maps, and pages of notes and lots of tips from friends. (also several pairs of comfy shoes!) Hope that a week will at least give us a little taste of what there is to experience in Paris! Can't wait to discover the bookstalls, the art and the myriad of flea markets throughout the city. Promise to take lots of pics to share when we get back! P.S. We're having a sale while Tom and I are traveling - take advantage of Free Shipping! Coupon Code = Paris

Today we thought we'd share a peek into our bedroom — the DIY solution we came up with (with a little help from Pinterest) for one of our nightstands, that is... Yep, those are stacked vintage suitcases and a wooden crate making up this bedside table — and we love the way it turned out: Below are the stacked suitcase nightstands and inspiration images we'd been pinning with this fun idea: It's amazing how many different variations you can pull together to create different looks. Inspiration images from top right to bottom left were all sourced via Pinterest, with their original sources credited below: 1. Pinned by Lauren Hastings, originally sourced from the Kemble Interiors New York Lookbook. 2. Pinned by Lena Wilson, originally sourced from this Better Homes & Gardens Slideshow. 3. Pinned by Rusty Retro Antiques, originally sourced from this House Beautiful Slideshow. 4. Pinned by Ronni Ascagni, originally sourced from Houzz. 5. Pinned by Clark Stevens, originally sourced from Country Living. Here's what we came up with for our inspired take on this decorating concept: Not too bad! This has got to be one of the easiest DIY decorating projects out there — we just collected varying sized vintage suitcases from around the house that were previously storing craft supplies like fabric and yarn and stacked them on up next to the bed where a nightstand would live: I even kept the craft supplies in the suitcases since many of them are on the less than frequent use rotation (let's face it, I'm a craft supply hoarder) — so we've got some functional storage going on here too! We topped the stacked suitcases with a vintage wooden crate since we had one on hand that seemed to give us the perfect height level next to the bed for actual use and had a smooth flat surface like a tabletop. Down the road, we might try to find a piece of glass, marble or other flat surface to put on top of the wood crate so we can flip it right side up again — we realize it might look a little funny with upside down advertising on it at the moment: As for dressing the table up, this is my side of the bed, so you're getting a look at the things essential to a good night's sleep in my book, ha. We've got a tin of Bag Balm (seriously can't live without this stuff), a mannequin hand holding a palm full of shark's teeth I've found down by the river-shore at my mom's house (also good for holding earrings I forgot to take out before bed) and a little bud vase where I like to put the leftover blooms from bigger bouquets on their last legs. Funny story about that mannequin hand — one of my Etsy coworkers found a few of them in a dumpster on the way to work one morning when I was living in Brooklyn and I begged him to let me have one on my desk at the time. I brought it back to Richmond with me when I moved and have had it in various places around the house ever since. Tim used to think things like this were creepy and now he's just grown to accept this part of me, ha. You might also remember the DIY faux mercury glass finishing technique we used to get the mirror glass finish on that little bud vase along with the little upgrade we gave this previously broken lamp a few weeks back: So that's the story of our suitcase bedside table! Will you make one after seeing how easy it is now? This idea would be great for a guest room or a fun way to create a side table between two chairs in a living room or beside a sofa. Heck, one could probably make a coffee table with a couple huge suitcases stacked up together. What have you been repurposing lately? Discover More: More Pinterest Challenges | All DIY Projects

Thought I'd share a few of the little changes that have taken my sunporch from Halloween to Thanksgiving. I brought out some of my vintage turkeys, my wool plaid throws, and my hooked wool pillows. I always look forward to this time in November to make the sunporch all warm and snuggly. My passion for plaid goes wild in the winter, and if I could drape a tartan plaid blanket over every surface I would. hmmmm.... I may have already done that. I almost forgot that I had purchased this ceramic cornucopia on sale last Thanksgiving. I think it must have come from Hobby Lobby, and was still wrapped in paper and in the sack, as it had been sitting on my shelves in my workroom since last winter. It didn't start out white, and I bought it knowing full well that it would have to go under the white paint brush before I could use it. Yep, here it is, not bad, just not what I had in mind for it. Some Old White ASCP did the trick with a little shading with some gray and brown craft paint, and a coat of Minwax Liquid Poly. much better. I have several turkey platters; this is one of the less expensive ones. They're pretty much to be found at any flea market in the Fall. Keeping the platter company is my white Turkey Tureen perched on a book. My Fall "Seed Box" I made last Spring. Click Here if you missed how I made my own "Vintage Seed Boxes". I'll show you how you can make one for yourself. One of my favorites in this transition is just to layer on the wool plaid blankets. Here's one on top of an old white mattelasse bed cover that I've been using. I love using white and neutrals as a base with my furniture, but going all white out here just doesn't work. It's cold and lifeless, so it always gets loaded up with seasonal color. I still have a little more "Thanksgiving" to share with you (I like to keep my web photo diary up-to-date), then I'll be doing the transition to Christmas. About now I always start removing the orange leaves and adding in my evergreens. My little Autumn trees are up now, and I'm enjoying the lights in the evenings, looks so cozy. Once I get my trees up, Christmas comes in little by little. Do you have ways to transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas without it being totally obvious to your Thanksgiving guests that you have ants in your pants for Christmas decor?

Take a peak at this black vintage chest. It's new purpose as a cozy and informal bedside table adds personality and loads of storage opportunities. Think of all the extra blankets, books or winter sweaters you could store... Image via Likainen Parketti If you're lucky enough to find a vintage wagon, why not turn it into a show stopping bench? I'd certainly love to sit down and tie my shoes here. This would look amazing at the end of a boy's bed or in a library or entry way. If you love this look, get inspired and build your own! Image Unknown Are you drawn to industrial things? Consider aging a clean tin garbage can with some dark wax to achieve your own look. Image via Fresh Home I'm not saying it's practical or comfortable, but it certainly looks cool! Retrofit an old bath tub into a fun reading spot in your playroom! My kids just might read for a few minutes longer..just because. ;) Image via Apartment Therapy What do you do with a crib once the last one has outgrown it? Try re-cycling it and turning it into a desk or credenza for your craft space. I'd love to a wrapping station in mine! Image via Achados Do you have an old bike laying around? Why not turn it into a bathroom sink? It's art and it's functional... just look at that basket and the way used it to store extra hand towels. Image via The Benjamin Collection Consider a painted filing cabinet inspired end table to add interest and loads of functionality. We love that it's on wheels. Makes cleaning those dust bunnies easy peezy! Image via Fresh Home Framed full length mirrors can be expensive. You might already have the materials to make one in your own home! Look how this homeowner turned her boring builders vanity mirror into a glamorous full length dressing mirror on the cheap! We love this conversation piece! Applauses to this homeowner for taking an old filing system and making it the anchor to this room. Oh, the things this could hold! Check your local habitat for humanity stores or on Craigslist for these special finds. Image via BHG Home Depot sells whiskey barrels for $30. If you slice one you can create two projects. An outdoor table and this lovely eclectic rustic mirror. Image via Dwellers Without Decorators Thirty Eighth Street will add their recent Industrial Locker Makeover to this bunch. :) If you missed it you can visit us here. Do you have a small space? We are head over hills with this amazing dainty black table repurposed from a vintage suitcase. Image via Vitamin-Ha Are you addicted to shoes? Clear up your floor space and re-purpose a bookshelf and turn your closet into a dressing room. Image via Design Indulgences. Card Catalogs are hard to find but if you're lucky enough to score one, they can make a fun and creative piece of furniture! Don't be afraid to alter them if they don't fit your space. Image via Dishfunctional Designs Get two nightstands for the price of one! We think this a brilliant idea. Cutting a table in half, painting it and bolting it to the wall not only save on space but ads an eclectic tough that's light on your wallet!
