First of all, are you sure you want to refinish? Is this an antique, or has it already been "fixed up" for appearances sake? If you do want to refinish the inside, the wallpaper idea is as good as any, just be sure that the "glue" you use will not attract "critters" that love to chew on such things. I mention that because we also live on Alabamas gulf coast, and palmetto bugs, mice, you name it, like some glue substances. Loretta from Theodore

Wall paper. You can use any kind. that is what it had originally I am sure. They used to make them that way. Some really fancy ones were lined with silk but most were just plane old wall paper.

I have removed the smelly paper from the inside of an old trunk. What is the best way to finish the inside of the trunk now? Paint, wall paper, fabric?
