I store my matted enlarged photos in them for my art shows. Then at the show the suitcases become the display for the photos as well.

I keep my extensive protest/political/happy day button collection in mine! I gave the full green leather set to my daughter!

How do you clean the fabric on the inside that looks like a spill happened. I used vinegar, soap and water and its still stained

In reply to Pam. You inspire me. I have been accumulating old suitcases in which to store fabrics. Will try kitty litter tonight.

Really enjoyed this post!! I have several old suitcases and trunks too! Trunks are full of magazines I just can't get rid of. One of my smaller suitcases I keep new cards in that I stock up on when I can't pass on a cute card. Another is full of dog toys again that I buy at a good price because she's so destructive ugh!! A couple of the others I use as Decor leave open with quilts and pillows and such, Grandma's doilies. Okay I just picked up a suitcase from the garbage day before yesterday and it is sitting out on the deck sunning! I think I will try the cat litter trick. I did pick it up because I thought it would be a cute cat bed since I have three cats. I would love to collect more but I'm running out of room lol Thank you nice to know I'm not alone LOL

I have 3 old suitcases in good condition that I use stacked as a lamp table. I store craft magazines and old photos in them.

In reply to Pam. I have some of those. Use them in my bathroom to remove moisture from sweaty toilet and showers. Didn't know you used them as deodorizer, I that bathroom never has bad odors.

Any tips on getting intense nicotine smell out of a mid-century satin lined train case?
