I just love this suitcase...but we don't use it. So why not repurpose it so that I can enjoy it all the time...
The fabric is left over from another project. Minwax Dark Walnut and wooden furniture feet for a whooping $2.68 a piece from The Home Depot. Do you see my vision?
After hubby performed demo on it and removed the top, I realized the inside satin fabric was too musty and stained to keep. I pulled out my sewing machine and went to work on creating a new lining. After the piece was sewn together I glued it into place using Fabritac. Threw together a soft and cuddly pillow and voila!
And it's Coco approved! :)
Go check out Frugal Friday at The Shabby Nest...
And Catch As Catch Can at My Repurposed Life...

Hello! I saw your project over at Frugal Friday. I love vintage suitcases and actually have two of them kickin' around here somewhere. I have no idea what to do with them! I love the dog bed idea - so cute and clever! Too bad I don't have a dog hehe.
