Featured Guest Post- {SUITE CASE CHAIR}
Hello y’all! I’m stopping by to do a post about a suitcase chair I made. First let me introduce myself, my name is Kim from
The Sasse Life. I’m a mommy & wife who is maybe a little too obsessed with DIY and crafts. And oh yeah, also Craigslist. How else do you think I came across this old suitcase for $5?

Let me introduce the not-so-pretty-closet-hog.
The first thing that had to go was that color, not to mention all the scratches. He even had a sticker that said “inspected – 1955”.
Now let’s do some simple math problems.
Simple enough? Now to let that dry.
Pre-made table/chair legs might just be the greatest thing next to sliced bread.
Once those were painted.. I moved on to tufting.
Add a little thread and you get this:
I got 2 yards of just plain white fabric for a whooping $3.00 (gotta love those 40% off Hobby Lobby coupons)
I was given a hand me down Carebear blanket when I was pregnant. Nothing against Carebears but I just didn’t see my son walking around with it. Since it was made with batting it was enough extra cushion I needed. (Recycling is good, right?) And for the pillows.. we actually have too many pillows around here. I know, I know.. there is such thing as too many pillows?!
Thank goodness for husbands to drill holes and screw on the angle braces and the legs. Then we added some plywood and foam (don’t have a picture of this boring step)
After attaching the painted legs. Baby is always willing to help out too.
Ok.. now it’s time..
drum roll please
Now go find yourself an old suitcase!
Make sure to stop by The Sasse Life and check out some of my other projects.

That is such an awesome idea! I pinned this one for later. 🙂
You are so clever and very very talented! I would have never thought of such a fantastic idea! Love it!
When I got to the picture of Baby helping, I forgot the title was “chair” so I was surprised by the finished product—so cool!
