Train Case Remodel

 I completed the remodel of the vintage train case I showed you in this post.  It was really in pretty good condition and a good scrub worked wonders.
All I needed to do was line the inside of the lid with vintage wallpaper and then I edged that with some forest green braid trim.  Wa-La!
I am really tempted to keep this one but travel is so much different today.  I have a modern soft-sided version and usually squash it inside the larger suitcase for fewer pieces of luggage.  Gone are the days when people traveled with matched sets of luggage or steamer trunks.  Now that we have to pay extra to bring along our clothes, less is more!
I ordered a long-overdue new rug for my living room and will be taking up the old one, cleaning and rolling out the new one today. This rug is quite a departure for me.  My decorating style is heavy on flowers so I hope I don't have to re-decorate the whole living room to make this new rug work.  My house is very low-light so I seldom show pictures but will attempt to get a before and after.  I sure hope the post doesn't end with "What am I going to do now?"!!
