JIMT Idea: Suitcases
Walking through Sparks Antique Show last weekend I must have passed up a dozen or more vintage suitcases. Old suitcases have such strong personalities ~ think about the journeys that baggage has taken with previous owners, their bright 1970′s colors, and funky locks, stickers & tags. Silly me, I usually pass on the luggage, though ~ simply because I’m not sure what to do with it. Never again!! Check out these BIG ideas for your old BAGGAGE…

A new perch for your pet made with a reused suitcase. I actually found several pet bed options from old suitcases ~ this one HERE is also cute as a button.

Ummmm, hello brilliant!!!

The idea for using vintage suitcases for tables isn’t new, but it’s fun to see all of the options of HOW to use suitcases for tables {below}. Stack ‘em, paint ‘em & top ‘em with a clever tray. I repeat, I will never again pass up a cool old suitcase!!!
