Oh! I have just been wanting to find a post like this Biba! I keep finding the greatest vintage cases, not too expensive, wondering what I could do with them! All inspired now, thanks to you!
Love the vanity case's - what a great idea! I love the idea of vintage suitcases but am running out of floor room - great find!
Love old suitcases! I have several that I bought in Germany; I use them in my sewing room to store fabric in them. I just may have to may my puppies a bed. They are smaller than most cats; it would work for them. :) I am starting to think there is nothing I do not collect.:) However, I have moved into a much smaller place and I have to get rid of a lot of it.L I am wall-to-wall in stuff, and my garage and attic, well, they are out of space.
I have my grandparents old cases in the loft - never considered using them. another reason for you to come and visit!
I too have a thing for vintage suitcases. I collected some many years ago back in my student days in London (from Oxfam), and have since inherited a couple from my parents. I find the cases do need some space around them to really live up to their full potential, though. I am also using some of mine to store fabrics in my workspace.
