This post is for Hannah at Cultivating Home. She wrote about her living room redo and her old trunk. I left her a comment, as her post made me wonder if my trunk was like hers…or not! Her writing prompted me to uncover mine (it had a throw over it and doubled as a living room table) and see if they were alike.
Normally the love seat is pushed up next to my trunk and it is covered with magazines and my “journal station.” I pulled the love seat back and uncovered it to get a clear view. My trunk is not exactly like Hannah’s. It’s funny how unclear a memory can be. I need to pay more attention to detail. Not just with objects, either. It certainly helps with people when we pay attention to detail.
We bought our trunk at an antique store (got a good buy from a friend who has a booth there) for our oldest son. He had so much “stuff” all around. I know he won’t be living with us forever. He is 19, works full time and pays us rent. When he leaves, the trunk goes with him. It’s a gift from his mom. ~:-D His first antique!

It’s beautiful. I love it and its nice reddish color!
I like yours! Yours appears to be more green in tint. What shocked me was that I had forgotten mine was so red in color. When I uncovered it I said, “Oh yeah.”
