added onto my DIY entry table

Okay remember the entry table I built here is the tutorial.
http://countrygirlhome.blogspot.com/2011/04/entry-table-2-black-distressed-tutorial.html 
 I added on to it last week.
This is what the table looked like before. (sorry for the crappy photo)

 This is it! AFTER
 I got the suitcase at an antiques shop for 8$ Score!!
 All I did was add another shelf  below.



 I wasn't sure how it would look but I am glad I took the risk. It's just another place to decorate, and you can never have to much of that right? Thanks, I am working on a sofa table for my basement and it is taking a bit longer than I expected but I will show it when it's done along with a train table for my boys. I should finish one project before I start another one, ha?
See ya!

    you made that?! It's so cute! I love that you added a shelf to the bottom.
    I tried to reply to your comment on my blog, but you have a "no-reply" here is how to fix it if you want.

    I love your entryway table! It looks much more substantial with the bottom shelf, plus more space to decorate! I also love your bench that is a few posts down!

    I can't believe what a difference that shelf made. I liked the table before, but I LOVE the table now. And you've decorated it so well, it looks like it should be in a magazine.

    Thanks for sharing! I was in love when i came across this and my husband is working on it right now:) I was wondering what paint/color you used and how you achieved the black on the edges to make it look aged? thanks again for sharing!

    I love your table, I have had it pinned for awhile now because I have a table that is a lot like yours (although I didn't make mine) that I wanted to add a shelf too like you did with yours! Here is my table if you'd like to take a look http://littlevintagecottage.blogspot.com/2013/06/entry-table-makeover.html I used one of your pictures to show my inspiration but I gave you credit with a link (plus your pic has your name watermark on it), I hope you don't mind. :o)

    The tables turned out great. Just curious if you used a router on any of the edges? Thanks

      I didn't use a router on the edges. But you could and it would look great :)
