 |
| She was right at home in LOML's chair! |
 |
| This is the night we picked her up in Texarkana! |
 |
| Lori had started to remodel her-- |
 |
| It had much water damage... We replaced the entire back panel and insulated. |
 |
| Back of trailer off, insulated and new sub floor put down. |
 |
| Stove came with the trailer, we had the trailer all rewired and added the dorm refrigerator.. drawers and cabinets built with boomerang handles on cabinets which were original |
 |
| A closet built with clothes rack to store linens, awning etc... |
 |
| Tim worked with the guy that remodeled to add the a/c to back. We did not want to lose any space or window space... worked like a dream .. seriously would freeze you!! |
 |
| All overhead cabinets rebuilt, he was able to savage all the trim. New stain throughout .. HONEY BIRCH... Please note if you decide to remodel one of these and the inside is HONEY BIRCH ... DO not PAINT it decreases the value. |
 |
| The table we had built - it folds up and can also be removed. I had cushions made of oilcloth - very easy to clean and durable for our family! The cushions on the long benches will seat 3-4 - It is very comfortable for sleeping. We never unfolded to make a full size bed due to space. |
 |
| I cleaned and cleaned, polished and polished her silver to make her shine... she was adorable.. |
 |
| My mom made her banner... I loved it!! |
 |
| My sister made her red white check curtains.. and hand towels. We had hand pump for water - good enough to use to brush your teeth. |
 |
| Here she is all ready for her first trip to celebrate my 50th! |
 |
| I was so happy with her!! |
 |
| All ready to go... |
 |
| This was taken at Devil's Den in Arkansas. |
 |
| LOVED THE AIR VENT... SO VINTAGE! I loved to crank it open... to see the trees above us. I know you are asking why I sold her.... She did not have a bathroom, and the trailer from end to tongue was only 12 ft. I had my heart set on an airstream. I put her on Craig's List AND sold her in one day! I didn't expect to sell her.. I cried when she pulled out the driveway... But oh how I love my new 62 Silverstreak!! If you want to see that one in the remodel let me a comment and will post soon!! Hugs.. Thanks for all the comments ! Someone actually does read my blog!! xoox! Valarie |
I am joining in the linky party .. beyond the picket fence.... 100 ideas under $100!  My cost to makeover the living room... paint and labor of love! My old paint color was "Sands of Time" .. new paint color is Ralph Lauren "Natural Canvas" Same color I painted my kitchen last year. I love it! ALSO... while we were painting the dining & living also painted the ceilings the same color for a warm and cozy feel. It totally gives you a different feel in these rooms. Painted all crown and floor molding "Seaside Sand"  |
This is the only recent photo I have of the living where you can see the layout of the living area. This was taken at Christmas. You can see where I had the sofa at angle in front of the windows. After 8 years of angling the sofa I was really tired of it and I have 2 huge windows behind the couch. I was ready to take advantage of the huge window and light they bring in. The black mirror you see in far left hand corner is now in the dining room (revealing soon) and the tea cart in same corner was only in living area for holiday to allow more space for tree in dining area. The tea cart is now in the Shabby Room. |
 |
| BEFORE: This was the long wall in the living area. The cross collection and the blessed are now hanging in my hallway. The black pedestal holding the fern is now in the dining area. |
 |
| AFTER This is the long wall, moved the couch here. The black buffet mirror was in the dining area and moved to living area, moved the 2 vintage mirrors on the left from the Shabby Chic room. Few pieces on top of the mirror buffet are a few of my favorites. The black damask plates were in dining room moved them under the black mantle, they were a Pottery Barn find and I heart them too. No longer work in dining room so moved to living - where most of my red and black finds are. |
 |
| Where the cross collection use to hang is now the print of red roses and underneath is a very old sampler... HOME SWEET HOME.. (Click on photo to enlarge) |
 |
| You can see more of the living area here... In far right corner is a old buffet - When we got the man sized flat screen we had to have something to hold all the video's, cd's and books - (I am NOT a fan of the flat screen being a decorative object) Aren't you loving the new paint??? |
 |
The Queen Anne chairs now sit in front of the windows... i love them there. The table between the chairs is a goodwill find - top is marble. Walls bare here.. enjoying the new paint for now. |
