Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jun 03, 2010 8:15 pm Hi all, I've been looking on the net and pounding the pavement through shop after shop trying to find 2 large trunks to store all my shoes in. I like the look of the wicker/rattan ones but cannot seem to find them anywhere! I'd like to get one really large one (approx 1m long) and a slightly smaller one so they can be 'nested' or stacked on top of each other. Sort of like this: http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af280/felicitycw/wickerbasket.jpg Has anyone seen these anywhere in Melb??? Northern suburbs especially?? Appreciate your help if you've seen them on your travels!

(There's one in Highpoint) If you are not worried about what it's going to cost you, then 'Riviera Maison' have some absolutely gorgeous rattan things....but they are expensive!! http://www.rivieramaisonwebshop.nl/inde ...

I've looked in Provincial Stormy, only found the whitewash sort there... But maybe they have brown also I'll definitely hit up early settler in Northland tomorrow and if that fails, order from the second place you mentioned Judie. They look exactly like what I'm after Can't believe how expensive these things are at some places!

Quite cheap too. Go to their site and check the catalogue. If you can't see it, pmail me and give me your email address and I'll send you the PDF of it. Judie Re: Please help me find 2 x rattan/wicker storage trunks! 8Jun 08, 2010 1:44 pm No idea if its still there but there used to be a place on whitehorse rd blackburn that had heaps of cane baskets etc. On the lefthandside if you are heading out of town. HTHs Re: Please help me find 2 x rattan/wicker storage trunks! 10Jun 08, 2010 10:03 pm Those IKEA trunks are awesome!!!!!! I'll check out Kmart at lassoo.com as soon as I calm down from all this excitement. On the weekend I found just the thing for my shoes. Will have to take a pic and post it. There was a set of three nested trunks in brown at an interior design shop. They also happened to be 20% off, and I convinced the girl to give me a further 10% off the largest trunk because it has some small scratches on the lid (which you won't see when they're stacked). I will definitely check out Kmart and IKEA's still though- could use another stack in one of the bedrooms I think Trunk overload! Wanna know something funny? When I walked into the shop and asked the girl about 'the trunks at the front of the shop.' she had no idea what a trunk was. I made a square/rectangular gesture with my hands, even motioned the lifting of a lid and described it... Nothin. After about a minute of this and me providing ten million exasperated synonyms- box, chest, toy box, glory box, box with lid, I had to show her. Am seriously wondering whether I have some sort of speech impediment... I understand me. Re: Please help me find 2 x rattan/wicker storage trunks! 11Jun 08, 2010 10:08 pm That Kmart one is such a good price!!!!! Well spotted Judie Re: Please help me find 2 x rattan/wicker storage trunks! 12Jun 16, 2010 6:46 pm How does someone not understand trunk Maybe if you said trunks... I was just popping in here to say about the Kmart ones but I've been beaten to it!! They have some crazy cheap stuff atm Bek I'm back Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7138 i had the my concreters concrete right up to the fence. I have pits all along my path, so the water tends to drain away from the house and into the pits.
