How to make a really cool table for super cheap.

1. Hang out at the thrift store, preferably on half price day.
2. When you spot a really cute, sturdy vintage suitcase, grab it.
3. Repeat the process for a few weeks until you have a nice little collection.
4. Pick out 5 of your absolute favorite cases and stack them.
5. Play around with the arrangement until you find something that works for you. 
6. Voila! A suitcase table. 
7. Put the table in a corner so it will have little chance of getting toppled.

8. Use the suitcases for *secret storage.*

I love the secret storage, too. I also really like how your pictures and your house look like magazines! Do you work for others?!
