Just look at what my husband brought back for me! Isn't he GRAND!
Not one, but TWO trunks (there is one inside too.) and a garage full of antiques.
The furniture will need to be sold because it does not belong to us, we simply moved it for a friend who needs a storage place at the moment. We are not in the storage business, but remember that really clean garage.....
Well, now it's full again.
About these trunks, Hmm.
I wonder where they have been, I wonder what their story is, were they on a ship cruising an ocean? did they travel by stagecoach? who did they belong to?
This one feels like it may have been the property of a little girl,
Look at the pictures on the inside pull out. I can imagine little dainty frilly lacy things all packed up in here. The cloth hinges have since rotted away. and the smudges from being touched many many many times are a clear indication that this is not a knock-off but a true antique.
I think it is the first really old thing I have owned. Well, there is a china hutch, but that will be another post!
I am thinking about lining them with a really cool fabric, or wallpaper maybe. And how about a nice thick piece of glass for the top. It would make a great coffee table.In any case, it will be a fun project for sure.
