Sure you are ready! You will find it within yourself to get everything done - and imagine how good it will feel to sit in your new home and put your own touches on it.

I haven't moved in ages, but bet there is probably something on FlyLady that gives advice on how to do so better than I ever have.

About your trunk - sorry I forgot. You say it is completely covered in fabric or just the top? And it has brass corners?

I guess I would suggest making a slip cover for the whole thing. Pick out a fabric that compliments your room - measure all four sides and the top of the trunk. Add two inches to these numbers to allow for a one inch seam. You could also buy a piece of foam (3inch or thicker) to set on top of the trunk to make it more cushy. Then you'd have to add three or more inches to your measurements to allow for the foam.

But hey - if you aren't a seamstress - maybe if you sent Deb some photos and measurements and the fabric, she would make it for you and send it back? Just a thought...you know that she is great with a needle and thread - and she isn't that far away from you via UPS or FedEx.

You have lots of options my friend!
