I love this thought too - Love what you have; if you don't love it - make it into something you do love or, give it away to someone who will love it, or have someone repurpose it for you into something to love! It's all about love!
Check out these awesome suitcases that I use for storage. They are in my guest room - I have a travel theme in there! I keep shoes, boots and bags in them. I love the way they look and, of course, they are practical!
