I call my style...Urban Cottage! It's a Small Cottage Home with warm tones, all things worn and tattered, natural elements and bold modern pieces all mixed up! My three beautiful daughters, gorgeous husband and Mary Kay business occupy most of my time. However, creating a beautiful place to call home is very important to me. I created this blog to express my love of the cottage home.

Trunks, Trunks Everywhere!

A girlfriend and I did a little bit of browsing at a few antique shops around town last week and had a blast. One hot decor item right now is the "Trunk". I love this look and happened to pick one up a few years ago at a yard sale for drum roll please...........$10. Below is photo of the beauty in my living room.

I see these in Pottery Barn for quite a bit more that ten dollars. However, if you find one of these antiques for a great price buy it and run! These are hot!
Refinishing your old trunk
  1. You can use a slightly damp cloth but let it dry for 24 hrs before moving to step 2.
  2. Repaint any sections that you want to touch up with Acrylic paint. Black is a great accent on these old beauties. Let dry another 24 hrs.
  3. Spray entire trunk with an acrylic varnish. I like a Satin finish. Let dry 24 hours and your trunk restoration is complete.
