{junk in the trunk}


Trunks and vintage suitcases add such a wonderful layer of interest to any space, and even bring a bit of the 'well travelled' look. My mom rediscovered a beautiful large trunk we had stored away for some time, and decided she'd like to use to store letters, notes, & fun little memorabilia ... great idea right? We already found all kinds of great stuff to put in it, like a funny little poem I wrote her when I was 10 years old!! What a pleasure it will be to open and look through it from time to time.

Now the question is how to display this pretty little treasure? Oh, let me count the ways! I searched for inspiration and found trunks and suitcases being displayed as bedside tables, on shelves, as a bar, at the end of the bed, or even as a coffee table!

Oh, dear .... I think I need to find a couple trunks for myself now!! I love all the display inspiration, and the different materials like lucite & brass. Whether antique or new, I think this look is delish!

Susan Hornbeak-Ortiz {S.H.O} has created a lifestyle line to die for! She has such a fashion-forward sensibility, and you can really see her artistic talent in every piece {she just happens to have a masters in fine arts in sculpture and installation!}. I think what I am drawn to most is the glamorous regency style, mix of modern & vintage, and well-travelled look the line conveys. I'm pretty sure you are going to agree:
{my house literally NEEDS this piece above. Like, REQUIRES it ... Gorg.}











I don't know about you, but I am dying over here!! I'll take one of each please ... hey, a girl can dream, right? Visit the website for a little more S.H.O & tell :)

{sofas back-to-back}

I'm always looking for interesting placement of furnishings in a room. Have you come across arrangements where sofas and/or chairs are facing back to back? I find this a very different set up, but with a room the right size, it could really work!


It also creates different conversation zones which is really neat.

If given the right room/project, would you try out this furniture placement?
