junk in the....

It's Tuesday Trunk-Day.... that's right! I am expecting a trunk at my abode this afternoon and cannot WAIT to see it! <i>"Where is it going?"</i> you ask.... I'm. Not. Telling. <i>"Where did you buy it?"</i> Again, also not telling... It will be SO much more fun this way!<br /><br />I ordered a trunk 12 days ago, and to my surprise, it's arriving today! My estimate on getting this piece was 3 months... I cannot believe that it's happening so quickly! That never happens- after all, I ordered a chair and a chaise lounge in OCTOBER and they have <i>YET</i> to arrive!<br /><br />Here are some suber-fab trunk inspiration images....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This one is gorgeous... I love the clear trunk full of magazines... I <i>need</i> that- my magazine stack is getting out of control! The chevron rug is so fun- and I really love the art- big and dramatic!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzX2Fm6gWhjwK9A8n6OKjPcR9Pk9V1DT3vKAOhPahg2AL_m1HGJa85fBsDTIr6ZAVdEam_sqUg9bMeg2eDq5-mes0kbYsVdxxpKPWlm-sCljOKVeFAs8QxjzR9rjT-MYmOT5QY8sCMiIw1/s1600/62d3815dfbde.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzX2Fm6gWhjwK9A8n6OKjPcR9Pk9V1DT3vKAOhPahg2AL_m1HGJa85fBsDTIr6ZAVdEam_sqUg9bMeg2eDq5-mes0kbYsVdxxpKPWlm-sCljOKVeFAs8QxjzR9rjT-MYmOT5QY8sCMiIw1/s1600/62d3815dfbde.png" /></a></div><br />This trunk is amazing- and again, another bold pattern as a backdrop.

I love the gold eagle and multiple patterns & textures in this space. Also- those <a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2010/09/im-just-not-that-into-you.html">striped drapes</a> remind me VERY much of my own in my living space!
