Steamer Trunk

While cleaning out the attic in order to get ready for my move,  my Dad came across a vintage black steamer trunk. This is almost identical to the one we found, except the brass is in better shape on mine. I'm contemplating keeping it to use as a bed side table. I'd shine up the brass and stack it with books and an oversized vintage lamp. (Another thought is to use it in my son's room)  Here are a few other ideas for the trunk. I can't wait to find a home!! I'm staying someplace temporarily while I search but my head is SPINNING with ideas!! Here is a snapshot of the trunk we found, it obviously needs some love but could look cool cleaned up.

This fabulous Louis trunk is via Ivy and Vine.
A Bar
A coffee table
Layer it under a table - I would still stack it with great coffee table books and the one I have may be too big to layer under a table.
Although this isn't a trunk I love this shot. My thought is to use it in my office. It could house my favorite fabrics samples and be used during the day for drinks or simply as a working space!!
