Anna-Laura Hocker on Apr 28, 2015I would stencil the two matching suitcases with a definite theme, such as Desert Southwest, Egyptian, and so on. I don't know about the bigger one...maybe something contrasting?Helpful Reply

Cecelia Mavis on Apr 29, 2015@Nancy Gallin I love the single one. If you are wanting to give it a totally different purpose, use it for extra blanket storage so that it's packed thick and firm. If it isn't firm enough cut two pieces of plywood to fit inside and then stuff it. You could add legs on the back side and make it into a really cool table. or just add the legs leave it open and display multiple items from a family trip someplace?Helpful Reply

Polly Andrews on Apr 29, 2015These are beautiful just as they are. Great accent items. Storage of out of season items is the perfect thing. Pack them full, then stack them. Or you could place one or more on the bottom of a entry hall table or sofa table and set the other two on one side.Helpful Reply

Cathey DeRosa on May 01, 2015I would paint them so they stiffen up a bit. Then decoupage them with anything you desire. I've chosen travel scrapbook paper with other papers in there, too. Also, maps. I would do anything to this inside. Once done, I used them to store things in them and stack them up. Awesomely efficientHelpful Reply

Ranch Near Austin on Sep 08, 2016I would NOT do a single thing to them. Instead, find an old side/coffee table that they fit over and use them for storage in a bedroom. They're beautiful as they are.Helpful Reply
