A Thrifted Trunk with a History


This sweet trunk comes with a little history. One day, my Sis called my office and wanted to know if I had an extra trunk she could use for a coffee table. I didn't have one, but one of my best friends, Sandy who is hands down the QUEEN of all things junk, would probably know where we could find one. It just so happened that day was one that Sandy was working with me, so I ambled back to her office, asked if she had any trunks. Well of course she did...in the back of her van parked outside of our office. I went out and looked at it, it was in great shape, and I immediately fell in love for it, worked out the bargain price I was hoping for, and ran back to call my sister. She was floored. She said "Who else but Cindy would have access to whatever I asked for, or at least had a buddy that carries furniture around with her!"

I took the trunk home to store it until Sis could pick it up. After a while, we sold our house and we packed up everything to move (Sis's trunk as well) and moved out. I had to put a lot of stuff in storage, (Sis's trunk as well) because we had downsized to a house that was less than half the size as the previous one. After about a year, I decided I needed a new look for our bedroom, and went shopping in my storage building. And then I saw the trunk..I called my sister and asked her if she had any intention of coming to get that trunk, because I really thought it would be perfect in my bedroom. She graciously told me I could keep the trunk, since I had moved it all over creation while storing it for her. So kept it, I did!
