Vintage luggage ideas

Some of my favorite vintage finds, are things which look cool AND are useful. If I can put something in it, or use it for a purpose it was not designed for, it will usually speak to me and say, "Bring me home with you!"
I adore old trunks and chests, but I also have a soft spot for vintage luggage. I have a fun set of vintage Samsonite pieces in a vibrant orange, and one in grass green, that I got at great steals. I, personally, like to make them into cat beds, as my two cats were always trying to get cozy in our suitcases whenever we were packing for vacation. Now, their luggage beds are some of their favorite sleeping spots. I found two other creative examples that I wanted to share with you. The first was found on trendhunter and is a bathroom wall vanity. What a perfect place for your man to put all of his cologne, razors, and other manly things!

The second idea was found on Pinterest, but the link to the original post no longer worked. This would be so cute at the entrance to your home, at a bon-voyage party, a housewarming party, or a wedding. So many uses! It you make the frame into a chalkboard, you can change it up for multiple occasions.
