I love a good old Trunk

I was thrilled when my dad told me he had this old truck that I could have. 

My plan originally was to paint all the metal in black and red.

The pieces painted in black had to be done because the rust was rubbing off, but once I got that all painted I felt like painted the rest of the metal edges in red might take away from the rustic look I like so much.  

I love how the leather on it is worn and torn and looks well used.  Makes you wonder where this trunk has been. 

I also added these castors to the bottom so that it could be easily moved around and so that it gave it a little more height. 

I am going to do a tray on top of it to protect it if we want to have glasses or remotes on it.
