A blog about vintage trailers and glamping
OK, every now and then someone sends me some before/after pictures of their vintage trailer and I have to say Miki's trailer named "Trashy" takes the prize so far for best make over that I've seen! Facts about Trashy from her owner Miki: 1. She's a 1958 Kencraft floozie from Hollywood, Ca. 2. She cost $150.00 with no title....she has one now. 3. She is rare, … [Read more...]
I think this has to be the most uniquely themed vintage trailer I've seen to date. It makes you just want to take it to a trip to Candy Land. Isn't it so sweet? (pun intended). Here is a bit of information the owner Julia shared about the trailer. "Ginger is a '59 Shasta Airflyte that we bought off of eBay. It had been lakeside in Wisconsin near Minnesota for a … [Read more...]
Let's make some cuteness shall we? This is one of my new designs that I just finished up. You know how they say it's a lot of work to restore or build a vintage trailer from the ground up? Not with this one! This is a fun and easy little canned ham camper to make. It's soft and squishy and I'm sure everyone that sees it won't be able to resist picking it up. Those of … [Read more...]
Who doesn't love seeing before and after photos? I know I do! The transformation on Paul's 1969 Shasta Stratoflyte is simply amazing! This is proof of what hard work and and attention to details can accomplish. Way to go Paul! For now we just have interior photos as Paul is getting ready to paint the exterior. All I can say is WOW, what a difference! Before and … [Read more...]
I just love these signs made by Andrea Disharoon! They are made from aluminum and measure 12 x 18. Andrea can custom make a sign for you to suit your needs. For mine she made a couple with the name of my trailer and the year/model and for another she made it with just the year and model. She can also make these in various colored lettering and fonts. Aren't they … [Read more...]
OK, so I got a bit snap happy and wanted to share some pictures with you all. I completed the dinette seat covers and while they aren't perfect, they will do the trick for now. I also appliqued a couple pillows I picked up with "J" and "B" (for those that don't know...those stand for her name; Jelly Bean). I haven't decided if I like them with the letters on there or … [Read more...]
I've been working on creating slip covers for the 55 Bellwood. Before it got so hot here I was outside polishing the exterior but let me tell you, this heat is sweltering. Not that I'm complaining as I much prefer summer rather than the brutal cold winters. However, in this kind of heat it's nice to have a "indoor" project to accomplish. I've got one slip cover … [Read more...]
Whew, I finally finished these up. I think they look pretty cute. Unique if nothing else that's for sure. They are all mismatched which is how I wanted them. I think they'd look boring if all of them were exactly the same. Not to mention it would of been very difficult to find enough of the same kind. I'll have to be mindful of the ones in the kitchen area should I … [Read more...]
OK, so I've sort of kicked around a few ideas for curtains for the 55 Bellwood including novelty fabric and vintage hanky's. What I finally decided on is to use various vintage feed and grain sacks. I wasn't sure how these would look but after sewing up a couple I am actually quite digging them. They are unique and pretty neat looking. I actually don't even mind the … [Read more...]
