    since ted and i love making old new again -- a passion we both share is restoring old furniture and trunks

    i have found these old trunks to be very useful for storing my fabrics and crafting supplies --

    many of the trunks are in a foul state to say the very least -- but with a lot of time and love they can become lovely pieces of furniture again for our homes

    pics attached is one of my favorite trunks we have restored -- we lovingly call her toadie -- as when we found her she was an antique green color that was popular in the 70s -- toadie has been gutted, resurfaced using a silk screening process on top and she stores all the lovely men's neckties until ready for use

    I have toadie's twin, in antique green! I inherited it in the 70's, and redid it myself in the fashion of the day. I wish it looked like yours today!
