Traveling can be quite exhilarating: going to new places, seeing the sights, and getting to experience new things.

It’s even more troublesome when your luggage gets a small hole in it or gets scuffed up, and you want to replace it with new ones. Instead of throwing it away, however, you can give it a new purpose. If you have any hardtop suitcases, then here is just the plan for you to add some rustic flair to any room.
