Trunk Coffee Table
Any ideas for sprucing this trunk up into a coffee table?
I'd really like to get this trunk and use it as a coffee table. However, i'd like some ideas as to what I can do to add some unique touches to it. I don't watch nearly enough HG TV... but I feel like there's got to be some cool ideas out there for this. Help!!

Cool trunk with good bones. There are so many ideas depending on your decor. You can add embellishments like wood appliques which can either be painted or stained. Check both Home Depot and Lowes because there a lot to choose from. You can add a piece of glass to the top and insert postcards, pictures, ticket stubs, really kind of memorabilia to form a collage. You can use tiles, stone or broken tiles to create a mosaic on the top. You can add feet to raise it up (these can be as simple as drapery finials, or fence post topper or you can find great selections at upholstery shops). You can add hardware of almost any sort to the sides to match your theme or decor. You can decopage items of interest on to it anywhere to make it look like a vintage travel trunk. Really the possibilities are endless, you can distress it further, you can add stain or glaze, you can paint it ...
