Christmas Suitcase Becomes Winter Vignette
December 31, 2011
I envy all of you that have your Christmas decorations down already. Mine are coming down slowly as I pack things away and think about changing up my usual vignettes. I am also thinking about painting the living room before I drag everything back out. It was last painted 9 years ago, and I am ready for a change. Just thinking for right now...
In November I found a great little vintage suitcase at a local antique shop that I painted white inside and out. I was pleased with the way it turned out. Today I changed it up from a Christmas theme to a winter scene.

ReplyDeleteThe suitcase lining was pretty soiled and an ugly color, Dana. I like it painted inside too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jules.

I love this vignette, and it looks great on the foyer bench! This has given me some inspiration, I have two vintage suitcases on top of our TV armoire and have been trying to decide how to do something new. Maybe I should open them up and do a vignette inside as you have. Not sure it is would show up good on top of the armoire tho!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
