DIY Chalk Painted Suitcase


Another great project done with Homemade chalk Paint!
 

 
On my last trip to WV my sister Peggy gave me two suitcases that cost only $1
each at a yard sale I think she said was in Hinton.  I have not gotten around to do the second one but they are like brand new both inside and out. I applied two coats of DIY Chalk Paint and have not sanded or waxed them .... will do that at a later time ....
 
 
the Before
 
 
and the After!
 
It is quite large too .... I will probably end up using them in my bedroom after I move.  They will hold so much and I already have several old suitcases that currently hold decorating magazines from as far back as 1998!
 
 
I guess I have become a collector of sorts?
 
 

Enjoy your evening!  All my best ....
