Multipurpose suitcases: They can serve as a stand or table at home.

added by Becky Harris to Storage Solutions: Using Vintage Trunks and Suitcases

As mentioned above, these suitcases serve Lockette well, and as a bonus, they look very cute!

added by Kathryn to Nesting Tables: Function and Style

Stacking suitcases on top of one another is a nice vintage twist on the ending of nesting tables. Instead of the largest going on top, the largest goes on the bottom. However, the individual suitcases can still be used as little tables or surfaces and they can be configured in aesthetically pleasing ways.

added by Natalie Myers to Decorate With Vintage Suitcases

This stack isn't exactly uniform, but there is a cohesive color palette and along with the collection of embroidery hoops, the mismatched nature seems intentional.

added by Lily Gahagan to Spruce Up the House With 50 Clever DIY Ideas

Here's an easy and inexpensive way to add interest to a wall via The Locker: Use a few embroidery hoops to hold scraps of fabric, and voila! Instant art display. Got a home project you're working on now? Let us know in the comments below. More DIY ideas for your home

added by Beth Dotolo, RID, ASID to Designing with Souvenirs

If you still have odds and ends that just don't look great displayed in the open, some vintage suitcases can lend a warm, traveled feel and do double duty providing some extra storage. Stacking them also allows for them to function as a side table.

What is it? Vintage suitcases.What is it doing now? Serving as storage and as a table at Etsy artist Lockette's studio. She also uses them to transport and display her wares at shows. Requirements: I guarantee you that someone in your family, in spite of having used a suitcase with wheels for years, has a stack of these collecting dust somewhere. Clean out the musty smell by throwing a dryer sheet inside each for a few days, then airing them out outdoors.
