Pirate's Cove Trunk

Ahoy, me hearties! We be putting ar bath t' ship-shape, known the one sea over as th' waterfall caverrrn, or "th' cave. First mate JoanneS posted this here beauty o' a Treasure Trunk, arr on the ship o' cap'n Ana White. Imaginin' how fun 'twould be t' have a mini pirate's treasure chest of me own, for t' purpose o' havin' a yo ho ho, I'm callin' mine a Pirate's Cove Trunk. Scope yer goggles on how First Mate JoanneS finished 'er trunk three ways. A weather'd trunk, as if wash'd ashore, one bone-shaded and leathered, dainty for a Lady, and, yo, ho, a dark stained pair: for double the booty!

In honor of Thursday, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, her is my $7 mini trunk for our bathroom cove:

Using scrap lumber, it cost me $5 in purchased hardware to make this little trunk.

	1x4 scrap wood - 2 @ 7-1/4" + 2 @ 4" already owned) 1x6 scrap wood - 2 @ 7-1/4" (already owned) 4 brace corners ($3, City Mill) 2 corner iron ($1, City Mill) 1/2 packet of furniture nails ($1, City Mill)
	Ryobi 7.5" Miter Saw (already owned) Finish nails, Titebond III, hammer (already owned) Screwdriver (already owned)

Our cove trunk will hold a treasure of cotton swabs. A possible second one may hold other little things for our bathroom. And my husband has requested a little trunk for our coffee table, where he could store the things he uses every day. :)

On a side note, there's some exciting banging happening on our roof today as a 30-panel Photovoltaic System is being installed. At Sunnyside Up-stairs, we'll be powered by, well, the sun, saving us doubloons to boot!
