13 Upcycled Trunk Projects!
Have you ever spotted an old trunk at a yard sale, thrift shop or auction, but passed it by because you didn’t know how you could use it in your home? Today, I have enough upcycled trunk projects to show you, that you’ll never pass one up again! Not only do they offer awesome storage (which we all need more of), but they can be upcycled into the most amazing home furnishing pieces as well, so they don’t need to be hidden away in an attic or basement.
The folks at Hometalk liked my Repurposed Roller Skates Trunk, and asked if I would curate a board filled with more creative ways to make old trunks useful in today’s homes. I love them, so I was more than happy to! My selections include trunks turned into: coffee tables, side tables, wall shelves, ottoman’s and more!

I even love graphics of old trunks and shared some from the early 1900’s HERE.

Do you know if a way to add pull out drawers to a steamer trunk? Would like to turn me grandparents two trunks into side tables.
Sorry Lisa, that’s one project I’ve never tried. Good luck with it!
