Hmmm, my list keeps growing...

I have added a 6th project to my journey of creativity. I received this steamer trunk as a gift from my grandparents for my high school graduation. I had always wanted one (I'm slightly fascinated with all things old & awesome) and this one was perfect. I've had it for 10 years (can you believe I graduated high school 10 years ago? Where in the world has time gone?!) and can't wait to actually be able to use the inside for more than storage of old textbooks.

My awesome steamer trunk, completely refinished on the outside.


 Now here's a pic of the inside. Not so refinished. I've always meant to do something with it, but never gave myself the time or credit for doing so. Now I'm adding to my list the refinishing of the inside of my steamer trunk.
Ignore the piles of books. The inside lining is falling apart. I'm hoping to find something cute & old fashiony to line it with. And build a removable shelf with smaller compartments to hold whatever.



So, my list has grown (as I'm sure it will continue to do). There so much I want to do that deciding is kind of difficult. Eventually, I'm sure that every project I want to tackle will end up on this list.

Stay tuned for before, during and after pics of each project I attempt!

  1. Can you make it all nice and pretty to hold your craft and sewing items? Or do you have something else in mind?

  2. Never actually thought about what I'll use it for. But, it was be perfect for all my craft stuff. Hmmm, something to ponder.:)
