Luggage Holder

Do you like my luggage holder? My suitcase is currently resting on it while I pack for my upcoming New Orleans trip.

I fished it out of a neighbors trash heap. It used to look like this:

A bit of sanding, heirloom white paint and jute webbing transformed it.

I adore jute webbing. (Also known as burlap webbing.) It’s humble beginnings associate it with upholstery shops. I recently bought a huge roll of it.

I’ve been collecting images on how other wonderful bloggers have used it. Super talented Debbie Hodge created this beautiful bag.
 
I have seen floor rugs, as well as upholstery for ottomans created by jute webbing strips that are woven. This darling table runner by Tara Dennis is also a cute way to use webbing.

The Breathing Beside Us website offers many beautiful burlap treasures for sale.

You can add burlap webbing to almost anything to up the cuteness factor. I love Susie’s idea.

Just one more reason why we all love Layla.

Rhonda created the cutest laundry tub skirt.

The possibilities are endless (and quick) for these sweet napkin rings made by Abigail.

I have also seen the webbing used for numerous wreath styles, as well as other seasonal touches, like this gorgeous mantle decor created by Jill.

I love the texture on these pillows from BH & G. 

Are there any other ideas that I have missed? Leave me a comment or email photos to decortoadore@hotmail.com . As I am soon leaving for my cousin home in New Orleans the  contest will open for two weeks. 

So what is the Freebie? Well of course you will get a few yards of the burlap webbing. I also plan on going shopping at many wonderful stores in New Orleans and will pick up two of everything that I purchase for myself.

Here is one of my pre planned purchases:
