At the time Chalk Paint wasn't available so I just used interior wall paint, several coats. You'll do great, just take your time and be sure to use several coats. You can also use painter's tape to mask off some of the leather or metal edging. I wouldn't try to take the hinges or leather off. thanks for asking!!Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-65189849151664775512017-01-04T14:12:27.253-06:002017-01-04T14:12:27.253-06:00Love the suitcases.

I'd appreciate knowing more about your adventure into painting them. I have been ready to paint 3 small trunks and am not sure how well it will go. Do not want to take the attachments off. I am detailed, but mistakes regardless are going to happen. Suspect hand painting is the best way though.<br /><br />Love the suitcases/trunks with nail details.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244052349504929523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-44148427822622108072017-01-04T08:26:53.070-06:002017-01-04T08:26:53.070-06:00Love your January refreshing Debra.

Your suitcases fit perfectly under your sofa table, and they offer lots of storage space for magazines and whatnot. I love the idea of stacking them next to a bed, too. I use my gigantic suitcase to hold toys that only come out when the grands are here and my small one to hold knitting patterns. They really are handy!<br /><br />I'm just like you. I can't wait for help when I want something done NOW!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-27646265944124486662017-01-03T18:12:23.005-06:002017-01-03T18:12:23.005-06:00I reallly like the white against the original hard...I reallly like the white against the original hardware.

Ugh, I just now traded out my conical boxwoods for spheres, and am struggling while breaking down my bar cart for a new look. Right now it's bare naked, and I can't seem to find the right combination for my clean slate refresh.
