Trunk finished in vanilla and pearl whites. I found an old trunk while on a recent junking trip in New Hampshire. It was oversized, had nice hardware, and was a complete wreck. That was the exciting part, because it gave me permission to have at it! I decided I was going to paint it, line it with fabric and use it to store fabric remnants that have accumulated in my office.

I repurpose an my great-grandmother's old trunk as a side table. Super-simple: I painted it and had a piece of glass cut for the top. The best part is, since it's a trunk, I can use it for storage too.
