Convert an old trunk

Inspired by this project we saw in Readymade magazine (http://www.readymade.com/), Ryan and I converted these two army trunks into bedside tables. We got them for $15 each at the flea market and brush painted the insides yellow. We had shelves cut at Home Depot and then had to figure out how to keep the shelves in. The trunks already have holes in the sides (I don't know what for) so we decided to glue pegs in the holes to set the shelves on. Worked ok. The original inspiration, http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/dc/diy-trunk-to-rolling-bar-project-readymade-online-109662 is slightly more fancy, but these serve our purpose.
