i found this beautiful old suitcase at a yard sale for $1 and am trying to work out the best way to turn it into something fantastic.i quite like the lining in it, except the bottom part is a little dirty but it has lots of potential.
some ideas...
 |
| turn into into an interesting hall table(source) |
 |
| make a new bed for maisy (source unknown) |
 |
| turn into book shelves (source unknown) |
 |
| use mod podge and material and make it very pretty(source) |
 |
| this is a bit beyond my crafting capabilities but wouldn't this chair be fantastic.(source) |
do you have any other ideas?

love these ideas! so, so cute. thanks for posting- i'm glad I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteDo this with it- hat way you can still see the lining on the lid... you could even mod podge the other side (i.e. the outside of the lid) to jazz it up..then you just need to either make or buy a deliciously comfy pillow.

I'm going to look out for old suitcases in this season's hard rubbish, I'm just not sure if I'll be lucky enough to get one as they're so popular atm- you got yourself a bargain!!
I LOVE this!!! Vintage suitcases are wonderful... I love the idea of turning one into a cabinet!! Wonderful :)
