I have a serious love for suitcases and any form of luggage / travel bags!!
I recently found this old suitcase and decided to paint it and decorate it with sentimental momentos! Annie Sloan paint - "Old White" - was the choice of the day! I then finished it off with a touch of dark wax and last but not least used some precious photos of myself as a young girl with my parents and late brother. I also added some scrapbooking decorations with meaningful words.
Tell me what you think....
The inside of the case..... I wanted to retain the original covering so decopaged it with clear
After the first coat
The inside of the lid. I used a dark wax to highlight the corners etc..
I like the handle and lock as they are still in excellent condition, so decided not to paint them.
I will post the final and completed suitcase tomorrow!
Thankyou for stopping by!
That is fabulous - what a beautiful post. I too love old luggage & have a small collection :)
