My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Repurposed Suitcase and Ladder

16 years ago

When we remodeled, I needed something to fit in this little niche, so I used an old suitcase as a memory shelf and a ladder for some quilts.

    Great way to warm up a corner & show off some quilts(handy if you need 1 this winter too!) Suitcase is lovely way to show off some of your treasures!! Jan

    I have a couple of suitcases that are more narrow on the top whe sitting up. They would work for this, since they won't stack.
    Thanks for showing us your wonderful idea!
