I came across this first idea on Design Sponge and wanted to share it. Ashley Poskin created this lovely piece of furniture using a salvaged, vintage suitcase. What a great way to repurpose and use a piece of luggage as a coffee or end table while still providing plenty of {hidden} storage. Use 4 Screw legs and 4 bolt leg holders from Home Depot, And wa-la!
Materials
- Waddell straight top plate hardware (4)
- Waddell 4″ tapered table legs (4)
- vintage suitcase
- spray paint or stain for the legs
- power drill
- measuring tape
Tips
- Find hardware and legs at Home Depot, but they are also available at a range of sites online.
- This project works best with old suitcases that were constructed out of balsa/masonite or some other sort of thin wood. You want a case with a bit of thickness — something the screws can sink in to.
- Use black spray paint to go with the black tones in this suitcase; dark wood stains look really nice, as well.

This next idea is from Interior Designer Brian Patrick Flynn and his love for his rescue terrier Gidget, he upcycled a vintage suitcase to make a stylish and functional piece of canine furniture. Now this pampered pooch is lounging in high style.
