It is afterall a storage trunk, so why not take advantage of it and utilize all of its purposes. I definitely look forward to pictures of that project should you be successful in achieving that. Overall, you are such a lucky bird in finding such a treasure. And a creative one while at it!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865236831931320511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-70087863059774736912013-04-01T09:22:51.003-04:002013-04-01T09:22:51.003-04:00Oh, great idea Ellen — LOVE the little ball receiv...Oh, great idea Ellen — LOVE the little ball receiver.

We wrote more about that trip in this post with links to the pillows here: http://www.17apart.com/2012/03/hello-ikea.html<br /><br />You can also see how puffed and nice they looked when we first put them on the couches here: http://www.17apart.com/2012/03/home-updates-upgrades.html<br /><br />So glad to know you think they still look good, ha!<br /><br />17aparthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176955042705963326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-1445206678310834392013-03-26T16:09:31.272-04:002013-03-26T16:09:31.272-04:00Love your pillows!
