Montage: 33 Vintage Suitcase Stacks

I’m really not a dusty old suitcase kind of gal. But last month I was at designer Jeff Osborne’s South End loft (I’ll blog about it later this week), where I realized I must acknowledge the allure of vintage Vuitton. (His Vuitton is the second photo down.) While I won’t be procuring any of these pricey pieces (or their poor un-provenanced cousins), I certainly recognize a trend when I see one. I recently wrote “Trendlet Alert: Well-Traveled Luggage” for The Inside Source. Here’s an expanded montage.

Montage: Tree Trunks

When did logs become so stylish? (Around the same time as antlers, perhaps?) It used to be that trees belonged outdoors. Or up in your cabin in Maine. Designers eased them into our rooms gently with white resin, silver or ceramic pieces fashioned to look like logs. Now they simply hack down a tree and plop it into our decor, proclaiming it “mahvelous.” Ok, not really, but almost. This touch of the earthy, when done with restraint, can soften a space. It also adds texture (designers love that) and reminds us that two worlds really can coexist. I found tons of rooms in which logs, stumps, and branches have been incorporated with perfection.
