brass storage trunk

June 4, 2014 by Lindsey 3 Comments

I mentioned that we found this old trunk at a yard sale a few weeks ago. I had big plans to give it an awesome makeover. Some paint, maybe stripes, maybe two toned, or designs and patters. The sky was the limit and I’ve waited this long to act because I haven’t made a decision.

Well, then I started searching around for inspiration and what I found shocked me. Similar trunks are all over Etsy and Pinterest for hundreds of dollars!

So then I started thinking that I should leave it as is, in its natural form. Which I don’t hate at all. I think in the right space it could be really great and most of all, functional. We currently have our workout gear stored in it, which was just out in the open before.

What do you guys think? Paint it or leave it? Now I can’t decide what to do!

      Hi Anne! That seems to be the consensus, so I think it’s staying as is :)

      Thanks for your input!
