So I have been saving this post for a while. With the nice weather, I just had to show you my BEACH coffee table first..:) But now I can show you this little number that I teased you with a few weeks ago.
A few months ago, my Father in law, dumpster dove for this little baby...
He said it used to be for a phonograph....you know; those things that used to play records....:)
Remember these two vintage suitcases that I had gotten at Goodwill.
WELL....Much like Chocolate and Peanut butter...these two were meant to be together. I had the pieces separately sitting in the garage trying to decide what to do when I had the ole "head slap"
and went.......DANG, I can finally make one of those suitcase tables....
So I painted and distress the bottom and took 4 wood screws and screwed them to the base.
and here she is...sitting pretty.
I think she makes a perfect storage area for extra linens or guest towels.
Here she is in my booth waiting patiently for someone to take her home.
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day.
