Upcycled Custom Green Storage Trunk Hairpin Leg Table
Hey GadgetSponge fans! Thanks so much for your continued support!
I've just completed this overhauled antique trunk.

After cleaning up the very dirty trunk, I gave it several layers of CeCe Caldwell chalk paint. I then took a good while distressing the surface to give it an appealing, worn appearance. On the interior, I stripped what leftover linen paper was left and lined it with custom cut beadboard. On the bottom interior of the trunk, I secured some Paris/French-themed fabric. Everything (exterior and interior) was then covered with several layers of clearcoat. For some height, I took some vintage iron hairpin table legs and modified them to fit the trunk. Done!
