Inspired by Hometalk

I have been going through my old blog photos today.  Among them, I found one of my favorite projects, The Planted Suitcase.

I had this suitcase given to me by my former boss. 

It was all melted inside from being displayed in the store window. This made it a perfect candidate for planting.

A few holes for drainage,

a few colorful annuals,

made a great display on our deck for the summer.

At the end of the summer, I brought the suitcase in, added some antique table legs and re-purposed it as a table in my son's bedroom. You can read more about the Teen Bedroom here.
