Upcycle that old vintage suitcase into a table, shelves or a dresser. There are so many home decor ideas you can craft and makeover those old suitcases.
I LOVE vintage suitcases. Every time I go to thrift stores I have to check out what they have for suitcases. I have seen some pretty cool ones but I have never really know what to do with them so I have left them at the store.
It was time for me to do a little research and find some of the cool things that can be done with an old suitcase. So I thought I would share my research with you.

Nice collection of ideas - I have a little pink samsonite train case I picked up at Goodwill a while back, and it's a great place to keep my crochet supplies and one current project and a book/magazine.

Katie,
I absolutely LOVE this post. I have a old suitcase in my craft room that I painted and redone the inside but mine doesn't look anything like these. I can't decide which one is my favorite!
