I've got nothing but Trunk.

No really, I think I'm just tired and therefor feeling uninspired so I don't have anything super exciting to blog about but I can't tell you all about my awesome trunk.
I found this trunk at a yard sale I just stumbled upon. It was only $5!
The refurbishing process has been taking me a long time but I'm loving it. I decided I wanted to paint it grey and use some decorative paper for the front 2 panels then add some fun knobs. Well, grey #1 was much too blue, Grey #2 was too brown, Grey #3 was just wrong. Finally, I have found a color that I love

Here it is when I got it: 
After the first paint job. Too blue-
 
The final, awesome paint color. It photographs a little light-

Here is the paper I'm going to order for the front panels, it is from Snow & Graham:

Once I apply that I get to pick out 2 awesome knobs. Most likely from Anthropologie. I can't wait to get this trunk finished.

Oh, and here is the inspiration photo for this project (from design sponge):
