Dear "A Beach Cottage desinger" Would you be able to share where you got the luggage and chest night table. Is it purchased or did you paint a luggage and trunk white. Thank you »

bcbeaker I have an old trunk that I want to paint out shabby chic, but not too too shabby. Just a little sanding on the corners, etc. However, it is metal for the most part, and does have some wooden slats so I was thinking of taking the wood off, and painting the rest of the trunk some kind of white and then putting the slats back on. I cannot imagine not having to sand it, especially since it is metal. Any other ideas???

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Storage Solutions: Using Vintage Trunks and Suitcases

Painting these white and using them for a beach cottage bedside table is BRILLIANT!

Even her director's chair is covered in a lovely natural linen. To see one of the best examples of using this look throughout a home, check out her entire photoset here.

added by Between Naps on the Porch to 10 Great Choices for Your Bedside Table

You really don't have to spend a lot of money to create a one-of-a-kind bedside table. Sarah took some old suitcases and painted them white for her beach cottage.

added by Natalie Myers to Decorate With Vintage Suitcases

Better yet, paint whatever you do find one color. The white works so well in this beachy bedroom along with the sheets, furniture, and white washed boards. Tip: When painting leather, make sure to wipe it down with alcohol and lightly sand it to remove surface dirt and wax before you begin. Use several coats of acrylic paint.

added by Becky Harris to 20 Spectacular Beach Houses

Sarah was the first Australian to invite Houzz into her Sidney beach house, which is full of natural textures, interesting objects, and vintage furniture.

added by Adi Tatarko to Houzz interview: Sarah's Sydney beach cottage

My favourite way to add colour is with heaps of flowers around the cottage and with piles of books.

added by Laura Gaskill to Decorating Around the World: Easy Living in Australia

The beachy vibe continues into the bedroom of this Sydney home, with vintage trunks painted white standing in as a bedside table, a linen-covered director's chair, and old fashioned bedstead. Fresh flowers in a pitcher add a hint of color and create a welcoming mood.

added by Becky Harris to 5 Spectacular Australian Homes

Painting a vintage trunk and suitcase white and stacking them created a quirky and functional nightstand.

added by Lisa Frederick to Director's Chairs Get Starring Role

Most people would have put a vintage bérgère or a distressed ladderback in this cozy cottage bedroom. A director's chair gives it a more streamlined feel and an eclectic edge without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.

I love the color of the trunk etc, and want to try and replicate what is on top of this when I get mine finished - just need to know more about what type of paint and whether chalk paint by annie sloan sp. will bond to my trunk.
