Some time ago I bought two vintage suitcases at a local thrift store. These have been waiting for me to do something with them. And this weekend I finally found the time to actually do it.
Initially I
wanted to convert them to little tables (see picture below), but that idea I soon discarded (I have way to many of these little sidetables :-). I
decided to just use them for wall decoration.

But because
they were a little damaged on the fronts, I reworked them! Originally they are
KLM pilot and flight attendants suitcases (there is a little KLM logo on the
blue one), and while finding some information about if they were the real deal
I discovered that these suitcases were selling for 20-30 euros on the internet. (I bought
them for only 1 euro each :-) )
The blue
one I changed airlines, from a KLM to a Pan Am suitcase and the cream one I
painted a minty green and with masking tape made some decorations on the front.
Now I have
to find a place for them to hang on my wall. I have something in mind, but for
that I need a handyman a.k.a my Dad! So the end
result photo’s will follow…
