treasure trunk

i have a thing for leather handles and i've been looking everywhere for a pair so i can swap out the drawer pulls on my desk. but i haven't been having any luck. BUT! i have found a few nightstand options that would look lovely next to my desk once it's fitted with the proper leather handles.

the intrecciato leather top night table by bottega veneta with matte gunmetal trim. not exactly an easily accessible option at $9600, but oh so lovely, especially in the pergamena leather.

the steamer trunk end table from sundance catalog is another nice choice with riveted oak banding and canvas-lined drawers. and a comparable steal at only $1295.

but i think i might just go with a simple cedar cube from the trunk outlet which has the leather handle, clean lines and sturdy wood construction. i figure the assembly of the cube looks simple enough, so if i want to dis-assemble and re-cover it in heavy canvas or leather, it doesn't look too difficult. no drawers on this but at only $120, i think i can live with that.
initially spotted a larger version of the trunk in rebecca thuss' portfolio but couldn't make out the words, but finally tracked it down after many searchword iterations on decor8
