Junk in the Trunk

(image via: bright bold and beautiful)

I have this antique trunk that was my grandfather's in my living room...

(forgot to take a pic - will upload tomorrow, come back!)

I think an antique trunk is an awesome idea for a coffee table

(and in my case - was free - bonus!)

But lately I've seen them as bedside tables too...

Sometimes stacked...

Sometimes painted...

Sometimes just as they are...

I think they make clever little side tables too...

My favorite bedroom of all time - the home of Susan and William Brinson.  Their entire house is incredible and I've used pictures in posts numerous times already (and have a few to come).

I love the texture and rustic look these trunks add to rooms.

Sometimes they're just in a stack with no purpose whatsoever...

My trunk is empty - locked with no key, in fact - but wouldn't trunks be a great place to store your JUNK if you are short on storage space?  I would personally use mine for off-season sweater storage and blankets that I could grab and cuddle up on the sofa!

I love this look...do you?
