Suitcase Chair

I think I need an intervention…

for Craigslist.

Two months ago when we finished our ottoman makeover, I had talked about what our new project would consist of. Somehow this project got put on the back burner until now. I finally started the it which I know my husband is very thankful since it has been taking up space in our closet. I purchased some old suitcases on you guess it.. the one and only Craigslist.

Let me introduce the not-so-pretty-closet-hog.

The first thing that had to go was that color, not to mention all the scratches. He even had a sticker that said "inspected - 1955".

Now let’s do some simple math problems.

Now to let that dry.

Pre-made table/chair legs might just be the greatest thing next to sliced bread.

Once those were painted.. I moved on to tufting.

Add a little thread and you get this:

I got 2 yards of just plain white fabric for a whooping $3.00 (gotta love those 40% off Hobby Lobby coupons)

I was given a hand me down Carebear blanket when I was pregnant. Nothing against Carebears but I just didn't see my son walking around with it. Since it was made with batting it was enough extra cushion I needed. (Recycling is good, right?) And for the pillows.. we actually have too many pillows around here. I know, I know.. there is such thing as too many pillows?!

Thank goodness for husbands to drill holes and screw on the angle braces and the legs.

After attaching the painted legs. Baby is always willing to help out too.

Ok.. now it's time..

drum roll please

As always, baby approves :)
