Pack Up Your Troubles...
...in an old suitcase (?) and smile, smile, smile.
I slapped some paint on an old cardboard suitcase, taped off a rectangle and added some chalkboard paint. I left the handle the original color.
A fun piece to use on the front porch to greet guests and useful too--you can store other porch decor in the suitcase, potting soil, dirty dishes...The girl who bought this is going to use it for her wedding reception as a decoration.

Oh how I love this! So many possibilities.....
ReplyDeleteLove this! I've seen some painted suitcases that really took away from the vintage charm buy your version just enhances it. And using it as a chalkboard sign was such a great idea. I have some less than attractive old suitcases that may be getting a similar makeover soon!
ReplyDeleteI Love this! What a wonderful idea. And the color is Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I just must be a copy cat on this idea!!! iT'S SOOOO DARN CUTE AND i LOVE THE COLOR.

Perhaps because I was just at the lake today, I love this and want to duplicate it so badly. I guess I'll need a lake house too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute! I love the treatment to the suitcase.
ReplyDeleteI pinned this a few minutes ago, and it's taking off :)
This is a great repurpose idea! I'll have it up on my FB later today. It won't let me tag you ;(
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Mine will be red for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea so much! What kind of paint I'd you use, and is it sealed? Gorgeous color too.
