Creating Our Own Fairytale
Today I’m hanging out with Kendra over at The Kreative Life! Come on by to find out all about this adorable vintage suitcase makeover!
[…] 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! […]

Adorable! I just got rid of a vintage suitcase and now I wish I had kept it! 🙁
Oh man! I hate it when that happens!! Next time you come across one you’ll know what to do 😉
Just checked out your post over there! Very cute!
Thanks Amanda! I was surprisingly happy with how it turned out… I was afraid I would have to paint it twice!
That looks great. I’ll now be on the lookout for these so I can try out myself
Good luck! I found two at the first store I went to so I bet you’ll find one!
Oh I love a good vintage find & remix! Going to check this out now =)
Thanks Addie! I love using vintage pieces as is but sometimes they need a little TLC… Then a great remix is perfect!
Adorable! I might need to scour the flea market for an excuse to recreate this!
Amazing! If you do is love to see it! Thanks for stopping by Rita!
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!
So cute – heading over to check it out now.
