In honor of the upcoming Easter holiday, your usual golden egg has been dyed orange. I bought this structurally sound trunk with a sad exterior at a yard sale last spring for $5. My Dad's birthday was last week and he is one of those people that has everything- yikes! He is currently planning to add a game room to his vacation house, so with creative juices flowing, I set out to refinish the trunk. The trunk will now be a perfect game chest for the new retro-beach inspired room. Success was sweet- he loved it!
Cost of project: trunk $5, paint 2 cans at $4.49 each, painters tape $2.99.
Total: $16.97- not bad for a one-of-a-kind gift!
Disclaimer: please excuse the messy garage in the following pictures-nobody's perfect, right?
Here are the steps if you are interested in taking on a similar project:
Exhibit A: One ugly trunk!
Exhibit B: Painter's tape and a good dusting
Exhibit C: Two cans of spray paint later!
