REVAMPED SUITCASE

Finished product
Today I have finally completed the revamping of my old suitcase which looked a little shabby to say the least.  After a few coats of Farrow & Ball "New White" paint and a little patience painting all the metal catches and corners in black it has been transformed.  The finishing touch was to line the inside with some pretty gift wrapping paper depicting ladies clothing then a touch of decoupage on the outside in the form of advertisements and labels of Paris, photocopied from a sheet of coloured wrapping paper, this was finished with two coats of varnish for protection.  I am sure you will agree the finished product is stunning and once again blends into the ongoing scheme that will transform  my bedroom into a beautiful feminine Boudoir.
