Nine Ways With: A Vintage Suitcase

I just love the idea of vintage upcycling: taking something old and tattered and giving it a new life as something else.  

It is amazing how many creative ideas are out there for upcycling a vintage suitcase.  These are easy to pick up at second-hand shops.  Often they are in great condition and so cheap!  

Here are 9 of the best ideas - from cute side-tables to shelving to craft storage! I am in love.
