Suitcase Side Table

Pack it up, pack it in

Let me begin

To tell you about the Parade of Homes I'm decoratin'...

OK, I'll stop and spare you from my "white girls can't wrap" rendition of Jump Around. Anyway, my point is that I wanted to share my funky new end table for my Down Home DiY Monday Making project. It is the perfect marriage of a clearance item and rummage sale find.

The suitcase was on clearance, it was scratched, so I touched it up and no one will ever know. The wooden stand was from a rummage sale. I didn't know what I was going to use it for but I knew it would come in handy some day. Well, some day came a knocking and I needed a pretty little side table fast. Thus the fun little marriage between two salvaged pieces.

I love the colors and design on the suitcase and it has extra storage to boot. I used it to decorate for the Parade of Homes. I wanted something light and that could be easily carried. I had a lot of other beefy furniture to carry in. I just put two screws, washers and a couple of nuts in to secure it and I was done. Another easy peasy project.

I will share more pix of the rest of the eclectic little Master Bedroom I decorated later. I made a really cool headboard from a repurposed faux door...you can catch a tiny little corner of it in one of these photos. Stay tuned for more...

I posted this on DIY Day at Soft Place to Land. Check out all the awesome DIY projects.

Happy Monday and all it's Makings,
