What do you get if you have a table with a questionable top and a suitcase? A SuitTable! A perfect conversation piece for your home. Shabby chic at its best. How did I do it? Well, I had this table given to me with good bones, but cosmetically questionable. But I loved its lines.
And I had this suitcase begging for a purpose...
I put the bottom of the suitcase on top of the table and measured each side until I knew it was centered. Using pilot holes, I drilled five fat screws straight through the suitcase into the table top.
I then flipped the suittable (cute, huh?) over and painted the bottom sides. I chose Coastal Colors Turks to make a beautiful statement. My customers LOVE Turks and I can't keep anything too long in this color!
After painting it I knew I wanted the character and hardware to be highlighted with dark wax. See the difference and how much CHARACTER the dark wax gives the suittable?
Here is the final suittable.
Enjoyed the project?
