    Hi there !

    While surfing pinterest, I stumble upon some great interior ideas, and I decided to turn this vintage suitcase :

    into something like these :

    But as you can see, the interior of my suitcase is meh, so I took some vintage stamps everywhere inside, glued 2 "shelves" and there you go :

    You can see my horrible glueing skills... It's not too big, so I will put light "display" accessories, such as brushes, rather than big heavy mugs / bowls.

    So, what do you think ?

    It's a Captain's Choice special edition AS bottle ;) so it contains his "Limes" AS.

    Very nice lipstick color. It goes well with your skin color. ;)

    Nice job re-purposing the suitcase.

    I agree - this is very, very cool - not to mention creative. Great job!
    For some reason I get an almost post apocalyptic or steampunk feeling from it.
