Okay, so I was out yard sale-ing today and I found this amazing near perfect condition vintage suitcase. It is beautiful and I couldn’t leave with out it… I didn’t leave with out it. The problem now arises that I have nothing to do with it. I have heard that there are a lot of cute crafty things that you can do with pieces like this one, I just can’t seem to find any ideas. I sure hope one of you can help me out. Thanks soooo much in advance

I found two. One is more like a trunk and the other has all these fancy pockets inside. Both are very old. I don’t have a problem with converting them, I just want them to be decorative AND most of all functional.
These are antiques and heavy. I would not use them as a suitcase.

I have some old suitcases and I would like the option of locking them for storage (I have roommates), but since I bought them all at vintage shoppes I am not the original owner. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
