Andrew has this awesome trunk that he used at camp when he was younger. It's been sitting in our bedroom collecting dust (junk) for the better part of four years now. During our latest clean-out-the-bedroom phase, we emptied it out and rediscovered a ton of tickets, maps and brochures that we've both collected on trips overseas. Add a little (a lot) of Mod Podge and this is what we came up with . It now lives downstairs as a coffee table. The original plan was to cover all sides, but I think I like it just the way it is. I read up on decoupage and discovered that adding a coat or two of Pledge Future Shine helps to seal it and give it a harder surface.

I'm suddenly examining everything in the house to see if it would be better with a coat of Future...
