More Decor

Curtains are next on the agenda. 

Oh, how I can procrastinate making curtains!

Check out those owls.

They were a yard sale find over the weekend and covered a place where the trim was missing.

The percolator is in place!

Vintage camper magazines ready for relaxing and finally reading.

So far, I have only skimmed the pictures. 

 

Reproduction tin pop bottles bought at an auction.

The colors in these were perfect,

the red and blue ones of the set went to Shawnee.

View front to back.

And a better view of the flooring!

I was so trying to keep the old linoleum,

but that was not meant to be.

The new tiles look much better anyway!

 

There were more pictures,

Blogger is giving me fits!

A LIttle Glitch

And some fun decorating.

The little glitch happened on Monday.

JWS was working on the door

that would not shut easily.

Hinges off, hinges on, hinges off,

hinges on and it worked.

Beautifully.

He said you could shut it with one finger.

He said you could shut it with your tongue.

Not sure I want to go there.

He checked the keys.

They worked.

He threw the keys all on the table.

Walked out,

pushed the door shut,

and...

you guessed it!

Locked tight!

We thought of scenarios,

I tried every key we had.

I mentioned taking out the roof vent and dropping Logan

through the roof.

Honestly, I think we could have done that.

He would have thought it was a Mario move

and

would have loved it!

Finally,

we ripped a screen and got them out.

Another fix on the list.

 

See the dinette above.

After much procrastination,

I finally got the covers made for the cushions.

Sometimes the apprehension of a job

is actually worse than the job.

 

 

 

A little more decorating.

Those lovely wall plaques showed up on my porch one day.

I love them and they were the perfect touch for the kitchen

Thanks so much, Bonnie and Linda!

You gals rock!

I just laid this material over the couch cushions..

and then someone sat on it.

Shouldn't I have fixed that prior to the picture?

Curtains are next

and

new cushions and covers for the couch.

My wallet needs a breather though.

I have the material for the curtains...

it is raining here today,

curtains may happen tonight.

And my pennants. 

I love these, may have to make some more.

This is sitting in our garage that we use to make signs in.

Hence, the campaign signs everywhere.

 

Last night, I started the new floor.

Decisions.

Finish the floor or start the curtains?

Paint the bathroom or keep cleaning up the outside?

 

Quite the project list I have.

 

The Bunk is Done!

Three coats of paint,

one primer

two color.

A lot of sore muscles,

a few bruises,

(where I missed the ladder and came down without it)

and this...

Let's just say,

this is not easy to get out.

Considering,

I just spent how much time and $$$

to make this hair

this color,

I wasn't after a latex frosting.

 

The cupboard doors are painted and sealed,

and we are on to the bathroom.

 

Not as much painting here,

I am planning on keeping the wallpaper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A

Kitchen Remodel and a Painting Tip

First of all,

I am attacking this interior

one "room' at a time. 

Kitchen remodel first,

it is almost completed.

It is a small area to work in

and I am here to tell you,

this is a lot of painting and trimming!

Behind the stove was paper,

not in perfect shape,

a little wrinkled at the edges.

The question of removing it, briefly flitted through my mind.

I am way more into camouflaging issues

than making a worse mess sometimes.

So I painted it.

Then to "define" the kitchen area

I decided to stripe it.

Taped off,

and here is your tip...

If you paint back over the tape

with the base color,

it seals the edges of the tape

and

keeps the top color from bleeding through,

allowing for more crisp stripes.

And all the thoughts of

red

green

orange

cupboard doors?

Resulted in Honey Brown.

So far,

I am liking it...

I cleaned all the cupboards,

painted and lined the drawers,

scrubbed the floor

and before I left last night,

could not resist

placing a few decorative items out.

Wish I would have taken the curtains with me.

I am even loving the floor!

Now on to the dining room....

Then the living room!

Another thrift shop day

Still no actual

WORK

on the camper.

It is going to have to wait until the

first of November.

But for now,

I found these

great treasures

on a stop

at the

local mall.

St. Vincent de Paul

in

Kittanning, Pa

yesterday.

Loving that harvest color scheme!
