My End Table Trunk

So I scored this awesome trunk at an antique store for $10!



So, I loved the chest but I wanted to brighten it up a bit because I wanted it to match the things I'm taking to college with me. Most everything in my hope chest is pastel and vintage. So my game plan was color. I also wanted to elevate the trunk off the ground and make it into an end table/storage space. So I went to Lowes, my go-to place, and bought legs, top plates, pastel green spray paint, and light brown paint. So, mix it all together with a borrowed stencil and...  The Reveal!







And now I am totally in love with it! :) It sits at the foot of my bed and is the new home for all of my craft supplies! I am planning on designing a small bed side table to match! Plus I love how easy it was, it ended up taking me awhile because I was slow figuring out exactly how I wanted it to look. But now, I could do it in like two days if I wanted to (cause of dry time)
