Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a DIY project that I have been wanting to do for a long time. My mom came over to St. Louis to live when she was 18 from my grandpa and ma's farm in rural Illinois. She brought ALL of her belongings in this suitcase! Her life on the farm was definitely different than my childhood or especially my kids! I've had this suitcase in my basement forever and when I opened it I found it packed with Barbie clothes from my childhood. I washed the Barbie clothes and gave them to Autumn. I left the suitcase open for awhile to air it out, because they had a wood burning stove in the farmhouse and I could still smell it inside the suitcase! I haven't done anything to the inside of the suitcase (maybe later), but I did paint the outside of it and I added a pinstripe to it! I have been looking for pieces to place on the bottom of my console table to decorate it with and it is the perfect addition! Plus, every time I look at it, it makes me think of my momma...
