Really.
In September 2007 my Grandpa said he wanted to get started on my hope chest. (My Grandpa makes hope chests as Graduation presents for all of his granddaughters) I did some brainstorming and googleing and decided I wanted trunk-ish chest that looked like it was a hundred years old.
Two and a half years later:

And it's just what I wanted! I love it!
The side, aren't the handles totally vintage?!

The lid open.

The lid closed.

The front

My Grandpa made the whole thing, by hand, just to suit the whim of his fanciful granddaughter.
I lovely him much-o.
... and me, goofing around with my webcam.
