Everyone adores the good-old vintage suitcase. Full of stories and adventures, I imagine they would have traveled around the world once or twice.
Recently I purchased one off eBay, but it arrived in a less than desirable state. I had to spray-paint the exterior and rip off the inside, and I now use it to store my fabrics and craft supplies. One of these days I need to get around to do the lining, and then it would be brilliant :-)
Here are some inspiration for you guys if you've purchased thrifty vintage suitcases too. (All images via Google & Pinterest)
Vintage suitcases make pretty stacked table. You could go for the beaten and battered casual style or if you can afford, have a couple of LV trunks propped next to your bed for a more sophisticated look!
The brown, vintage ones work best as floor decorations, I reckon. You can also turn the suitcases into a display rack and exhibit all your knick-knack and whats-not.
As a console or coffee table, these vintage pieces lend a touch of old world charm to any space.
How about wall shelves? I love how the vintage tones and textures of the suitcase sing against a muted blue wall, perfectly styled with quirky accessories.
Maybe even a fantastic furniture for your favorite pet? Brilliant!
Vintage suitcases of all shapes and sizes can now drop beats. I know the boomcase store sells them. Another one is case of bass.
How about turn your trunk into a case of bass? Yes, you are looking at a working bass made out of a vintage suitcase by Daniyel. This has to be the best repurposed suitcase idea I have seen.
Create a beautiful garden patch right into your suitcase. Simply perfect!
Or even use your vintage suitcase as a planter tray for your indoor specimen.
For something less usual, turn your vintage suitcase into a vanity cabinet. Stick a mirror and some lights in it, or even treat it like a medicine cabinet.
Here comes a great piece of repurposed furniture – a single seater made from an old vintage trunk. It’s like the human version of the luggage pet.
And lastly, you can use your vintage suitcase to store all your hobby items - which is exactly what I'm going to do. Create some pockets, add some dividers, and viola; an organized storage space!
So there you have it, 12 uses of the trusty vintage suitcase. Hope you've enjoyed the post and drew some inspiration!
