vintage trunk.

As mentioned previously in my blog, I've been wanting to do a post on my vintage trunk for a while. It's probably my most favourite and treasured of all my possessions. Not only do I think it's absolutely beautiful in it's own antique way, it doubles as a storage space for all my other belongings.

When I bought it, the lady at the shop told me that it came floating off from the Titanic. I don't think that it's completely true, but sometimes when I'm feeling fanciful I do believe it.

Below are some pictures for Antique Trunk placement ideas:

I think all of these ideas are gorgeous! Put a trunk by the foot of the bed, as a bedside table, or use it as a coffee table. Don't forget about that extra storage! Vintage trunks are really quite useful, you know.

license plates.

I first started collecting license plates when I went to Quebec in 2012 with my Grade 12 French Class. I thought it would be a fun way to see the places that I've been in Canada. Plus, they look so darn cool! The next addition to my license plate family was added this past June in British Columbia. Then I decided that I should probably get one from Ontario because I live here. 

So far I've only been to 3 provinces in Canada. I'm willing to admit it's not that impressive. Here's to a bigger, brighter, and more well-travelled future!

Isn't that bird house tres adorable? I think so. I don't know if I could bear to bend or damage the license plates in any way, shape, or form...but it's nice to dream, isn't it? :]

Happy travelling/collecting!

mirror.

Let me introduce you to my golden, vintage, oblong mirror! I bought this at yet another garage sale a couple summers ago. It has a little chip out of the bottom of the frame but that's nothing a little lovin' can't fix.

There isn't a ton of different stuff that you can do with mirrors other than re-paint them or hang them up. Sigh...I tried my best :]
