Eco-friendly Living

Hellu Pussycats!!!

What to do with an old suitcase that collects dust under the bed??
Turn it into an upcycled table and pet beds of course!

Great to use as a side table with a small lamp or magazines.

Inside you can store remotes, mags, extra candles or even a secret stash of chocolate :)

They make great pet beds too!

The cover zips off and can be easily washed.

Stella luvs hers!!!

There isn't a woman alive who doesn't like a big book to make lists in.

Have a great afternoon Pussycats!

Be in touch! Luv Weezi :) Read more
