My Antique Trunk

So here's that adorable trunk I was talking about in the previous post.

I placed it in the corner of our living room for now, but I imagine it might become an end table on one side of the sofa in the future.

It has a pressed tin exterior, leather handles on the side, and a nice time-worn patina.

The larger trunk behind it was a Harvest purchase from years ago. I still adore this one-of-a-kind piece. The wire ferris wheel was a wedding gift from my great boss, and the old noodle shop stool is a Harvest staple I can't live without.

You see, I'm not kidding when I say my house is filled with Harvest!

I'll show you my new settee in the next post.

Client Inspiration: A hope chest towel caddy

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a client's home to discuss the finishing touches of her project. While I was there she shared the clever idea she came up with for one of our old hope chests.

 She placed it at the corner of her gorgeous bathtub to hold and display rolls of soft, color coordinated bath towels. Doesn't it look great?





Mona also utilized one of our vintage wooden vessels to display potpourri and a relaxing, scented candle beside the bath.


And of course, the essential Pre de Provence soap is perfectly perched in our bathtub soapdish!

 

I can't wait to share more pics of Mona's fabulous home once we have everything put together.

Thanks for the inspiration, Mona!
