victory!

The hubs and I have been on the lookout for a new coffee table for a while now. This weekend we were at our fave antique store and found the perfect piece. It is an old hand-made wooden trunk with wicked awesome metal hardware. It also has fancy rope handles on the side. I know trunks can be overdone, but this one is bad a$$. My husband and I have been known to be cheap, but we made this decision faster than you can say "dontbeanidotandbuythisalready."

(don't judge the hideous yellow/gold clashing going on between the wall and the couch. that is soon to be fixed.)




We got this wooden beast for just $135. Compare to trunks at Pottery Barn, Anthropologie and Restoration Hardware for $500-$1900. And, this one isn't fake old. It's legit.

Anthropologie Traveler Coffee Table, $998.


Pottery Barn Rebecca Trunk, $499.


Restoration Hardware Heirloom Silver Coffee Trunk, $1895.
