Repurposing trunks. One of my Favourite Things to do!

I absolutely love trunks! I can just go ahead and call myself a Trunk Junk-y !!! They are gorgeous and can be so much more than a moth ball smelling attic time capsule! Inventing new ways to make these come back to life is such a fun challenge to me! I hope the inspiration flows over to your DIY tendencies! www.facebook.com/gypsy for more inspiration

    I love the black trunk made into a desk! I have a trunk almost exactly like that and what a great idea! I think this project is in the future!

    So, looking at the neat ideas you have here...by chance have you ever had an opportunity to do anything with an old steamer trunk? ;-)
