Vintage Luggage Repurposed

Can you tell I am quite smitten with vintage luggage?! I have discovered some amazing deals on these gems from yesteryears, including a pair of these 1940s Samsonites repurposed as end tables. The legs were already attached when I scored these for 50% off. I only applied my favorite driftwood painting technique. The beauty of vintage-- whimsical, unique and lovely to behold!
Stacked suitcases provide practical storage for fragile or bulky items. My assortment houses most of my Etsy inventory as well as seasonal decor. I find it helpful to keep a running list on my computer reminding me where I have stored what which keeps me from hunting and allows me to easily locate what I need. Check out my Luggage Love board on Pinterest for other clever pins!
I would love to hear your creative storage solutions and repurposed finds! Please share yours!

    Neat idea. I recently bought a house, and the previous owner is an elderly lady who left quite a few "treasures" for me to find and keep. In the shed are several suitcases, I think Samsonite or similar. I know they are hard-sided suitcases. I haven't pulled them out of the shed yet, as we are still just trying to get settled in.
