Michelle Leslie on Jul 19, 2016If you add some legs it would make an awesome side table. You could also attach it to a wall, add some shelves and it would look lovely as a little cupboard perhaps in the bathroom.Helpful Reply

Valerie on Jul 19, 2016I like the idea of putting legs on to it. As you have a meditation space, I would use it to store all your little bits and pieces, kind of like a meditation memory box. I think it is a beautiful piece, and something that you can cherish for years to come.Helpful Reply

Sandra Allen on Jul 19, 2016As a crocheter, I love containers all over my house with balls of yarn in them. I would put a box inside upside down so that just the top row of yarn balls show.Helpful Reply

Mavis McLeod on Jul 20, 2016I have two cases belonging to me and my mom when we were traveling the world when Dad was in the military. I have them in my craft room organized with paints in one and punches in the other. I treat the outside with jergen hand lotion to keep the outside from drying out. They look great open or closed. I say use it. The ideas above are great. Loved the bathroom idea.Helpful Reply

Joy3580525 on Jul 20, 2016use it as a keepsake holder, put scarves, gloves, handkerchief, jewelry, leave it open and hang some over the side and some over the top and make it a conversation piece. Would be cute on a table in an entrance or on a hearth and bring back memories of your grandmother.Helpful Reply
