Pretty Little Green Things

As you know, one of the best ways to be green is to simply reuse something.  And one of the best ways to create a design statement is to use an object for a purpose it wasn’t originally meant for.  Maybe that’s why using suitcases and trunks as occasional tables always looks so chic and interesting.  Here are a few pictures to get the creative juices flowing.  Enjoy!

Why not try a stack of Louis Vuitton suitcases as a side table?

At $30,000, if you encase your antique Louis Vuitton steamer trunk in a lucite box, you’ll never have to worry about it getting dirty or damaged.

This one is gorgeous all on its own.

I love the glossy black and brass hardware.  Very chic!

The copper nailheads and dark iron straps look amazing against the tooled leather.
