      Thanks Amanda! I was surprisingly happy with how it turned out… I was afraid I would have to paint it twice!

      Thanks Addie! I love using vintage pieces as is but sometimes they need a little TLC… Then a great remix is perfect!

    Super cute! I have a little suitcase like that in my basement, but it’s black, so might be harder to paint over? It’s probably only ’70’s vintage , ha. I might have to try this one day when I’m feeling ambitious.

      If you’re painting over black (or any dark color) it would probably be easier to prime any section you’re going to paint first. You can buy primer in a spray can or latex… Heck any old can of white will do! I know the yellow was even hard to cover with my light seafoam and blue… I had to do 3-4 coats to get the proper color! If you paint yours I’d love to see pictures!

    […] A Vintage Suitcase Makeover! If you’re anything like me you are loving the vintage suitcase trend that’s going on right now. I tend to be drawn towards anything that contains things (read as: stores all my crap out of sight) so vintage suitcases are perfect for me! In addition to larger suitcases I have found adorable children’s suitcases, hat boxes… even a vintage bowling ball bag! The key (for me) is finding that perfect colored bag… the one that looks amazing with all the rest of my pretty things … read more! […]
