My mom got this vintage trunk for me from one of her friends. Her friend had spruced it up while keeping its vintage charm with an olive green paint. I kept it as she had left it and stored miscellaneous china and stuff in it down in our basement for 4 years. Before we moved into our new place I decided that I wanted to make it brighter and clean it up a bit so it could be used in our loft for extra storage. At this point I had already ordered our grey couch, so that was the only color I really needed to coordinate with. I lightly sanded the rails and gave them a new coat of slightly darker stain to contrast with the orange and voila.

And here it is living in its new spot with my favorite piece of art above it.
