Projects

On Memorial Day weekend we visited our daughter.  After my husband 'slept' on the sofa in her apartment we decided that she needed a new sofa!  We went shopping - she sat on 40+ sofas at 5 different furniture stores, and we returned to the first store and purchased a really nice, comfy sofa along with a really cool chair and ottoman.  But before we got the sofa, we bought two lamps which were the kind that you see in magazines in really cool rooms and you say to yourself...'where does one get cool lamps like that?'  So, the sofa and chair would have to do the lamps justice!  And they do.

So, then we looked for end tables that would not break the bank - which after the purchase of the lamps, sofa, chair and ottoman, was sorely cracked!  There were none.  None that would look right, none that would fit right, none that deserved to be beside that sofa or chair.  I had remembered seeing tables made from suitcases - and they already had a coffee table from an old trunk - so it seemed perfect to have suitcase end tables.  And the search was on for the perfect ones!!!  Well, there were no vintage suitcases to be found, so I made do with what I could find.  And here is the story of the end tables in picture form...enjoy the pics.
