Pretty In Pink!

Hi everyone! Hope you are getting some of this sunny and warm weather like here in North Carolina!

I painted a coat of PINK Homemade Chalk Paint on the other suitcase I was telling you about.  Peggy got them at a yard sale for just $1 each. They measure 21 x 18 x 9 so they are pretty big.  I may leave them in the creamy white and the pink or I may change them?  Who knows?

 
I am getting things finalized for my move Friday and wanted to see what they looked like with the Pink?
 
 
This is what the PINK one looked like before I painted it.  It is an Amelia Earhart brand.
 
 
 
It is a very solid piece of luggage and looks almost like new inside.  Sometimes I tear out the lining of them if they are scrappy and stuffy , mildewy smelling inside.  Or use a kitty litter in a container to aid in the smell or dampness?

 
I love how the shades of tans, creamy whites, pinks and pale greens go together!
 
 
                                       It never ceases to amaze me at the POWER of PAINT!!
 
 
                                           I hope you enjoy the rest of your day dear readers!



All my best!

  2. Who'da thunk it? I would have thought painting a smooth finish suitcase but these tweed looking one turned out great! And for a buck each, it wasn't a risky decision. Looks great!
