Customized coastal decor

Hi there, how are you guys doing? I hope you are great! 
This is a very simple DIY that could be used as a decor item in the house or a handmade gift for someone.

About 8 years ago I brought two starfishes in my suitcase when we were back from South Beach, FL. We actually live on one of the Spanish coast and starfishes are probably all over here too so I don't remember why was I so determined to take them back with me but I did. I have always been interested about local items wherever I go so it's probably the reason... Anyway these two starfishes have been standing in a wicker basket in my main bathroom since then so I thought they could be perfectly used as a coastal decor.

Ongoing project: line and upcycle a vintage suitcase

Project completed here.

This is the next project I have to do: line and repurpose this wonderful family vintage suitcase! I am very excited about this as this beautiful piece has been in our family since ever. 
The shape is perfect outside and not so bad inside, just need some fresh air and slight makeover; this is why I have decided to line it and turn it into a great craft supplies storage!

Spray painting project

I have a very short experience with spray painting. 
Years ago I sprayed a wicker chair and the result is still fine as it has been exposed to weather since then and is still protected.
