It's worn.....but don't mess with it! HOWEVER....it's yours......and while I bought the one I had for maybe $2.50....stripped all the paper off, stained and varnished and glued fabric on the inside....and filled with barbie clothes and gave it to my daughter.....who loved it and used it.....and stored her Barbies in it....and then gave it to her daughter who also stored her Barbies in it... Well where else could I have found something that would have served so well for so long for the $100 that a trunk like that may be worth? The brackets are for ( I think) little drawers that fit inside. It's a good thing....save a piece of the past...or convert it to something you will use....the choice is yours.

Those pulls look very nice, they will look good on a closet like the one you included in the link. At 160-mm drilling they probably will not match up with the existing holes. It used to be pretty easy, most cabinet hardware in the US was measured in inches and most pulls were drilled 3" center to center. Now days it is just as likely to be metric (especially for a closet system) and the spacing is all over the place. From what you said in your post it sounds like your closet system is painted. If that is the case, fill the existing holes with epoxy putty, sand them smooth, mark and drill the new holes where ever they need to be and repaint. The old holes should be invisible. If the closet system is melamine or laminate then you will probably not be able to hide the filled holes. If the new pulls are wider than the old ones the existing holes will be behind the pull and sort of out of sight, that might be hidden enough for you or you may want to rethink the whole project and live with the existing pulls.

I have very shallow windows and was never able to do inside mount blinds. For years I had the thinnest, cheapest ranch style tim, but a few years ago I replaced all my woodwork with a nicer trim, with a fairly low profile. I think it added a tiny bit more depth to the window. I ordered one set of nice 1" white basswood blinds from JCP. The inside mounting bracket that fits to the top of the window had four screw holes in each side. This mounting bracket protruded slightly past the window trim, but DH found that by using only the back two screws, we were able to use the 1" blinds. Of course they protrude slightly, but the actually look VERY nice. It is hard to see the ACTUAL depth in your picture, but you might be surprised that this could work for you.

Nope...it's an ottoman. I think the seller might be Martyn Lawrence Bullard....he uses the word "delicious" in his description: This very cool rounded ottoman was a vintage purchase which I intended to fix up and use as the centerpiece of a walk-in closet, however construction plans have been delayed and the closet will not happen as quickly as hoped, and in the mean time we need to put windows in our garage, so I need to sell to gain storage space. This is a very cool shape (like pac-man) which could be used to go around the corner of a wall to be a banquette, or just left as is for a neat design. The velvet or velour fabric is like a golden vanilla color, very rich and regal looking, classic glam. You can use it as a coffee table/ottoman piece with a sofa, or like I was going to as a lounge seating piece in a fabulous closet, bedroom, family room, home theater room, humongous Moroccan style bathroom, etc. Pretty versatile and probably a great conversation piece wherever you put it. Instant style, and a forever classic. Measures 60" diameter (5' across!) -- Deliciously HUGE! Note that there is some staining and dirt on the upholstery. The lines across the top are just indentations in the velvet from what this was leaning against in our garage, those will fluff out. I tried to get good photos but since this is a velvety or velour type fabric it was hard to catch it right. There are some stains on the top, and the pointed edges have worn spots, and dirt. I have done a brush-off of the dirt, but I don't have the time or cleaning supplies to try to see if Oxy-clean or something will work on this. I would guess it would, but I need to leave that to the buyer, and my price reflects this. The upholestry is so pretty, and dramatic. I would think it would definitely be worth your while to try to salvage it. Even if some of the stains don't completely come out, they are hard to see with the velvet texture. It is up to you. Also, since this is an older item, the foam in the cushion feels a little on the hard side. It is not terrible, I mean it could still be used, but if you want a super-cushy seat I recommend reupholstering. Up to you. I try to think of all picky things to tell people. This is a really well-made piece and to get this custom made would be like $800+just for the frame and padding, then another few hundred for the upholstery fabric (depending on what you chose). Velvet is pretty pricey these days too, so if you can salvage it, you got a crazy good buy. Rare and unique custom item that you will not find elsewhere, and won't be able to make for such a low price. Here is a link that might be useful: And In Case You Can't Resist...
