{ DIY: Vintage Suitcases }





When it comes to reonvating or decorating, money is the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are many blogs out there to offer some great, cost effective DIY options.

Last year we used some vintage suitcases as props in some of our stores. Instead of 'throwing' these away, we wanted to give these a new life.

The very talented Sarah from a beach cottage blog has some very cute ideas for using suitcases as furniture rather than hiding these away. The best part - it's so cheap. If you don't already have a suitcase, you can track some down from your local op shop. Then use as a coffee table in your lounge room, a side table in your bedroom or to even plant some herbs!
For the adventurous - check out Sarah's tips on painting your suitcase white!

    Love your new Blog.

    The idea of painting your suitcases white is such a great idea.
    I'm a huge fan of white and I am so tempted to paint everything in my house.

    keep the great posts coming.
