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...]
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...]
Today was a busy day! We tore out the ceiling birch around the vent and on the front wall above the counter. We then put new birch in. The framing looked good around the vent so we didn't need to replace it. That was a nice surprise. We still have the trim to do but we ran out of birch so off to get more soon. Next we'll put up a back splash, install a subfloor, stain … [Read more...]
This little cutie is at the paint shop getting a new paint job. They finished the bottom half and today will paint the top half. Oh my, is she going to be so cute when she's all finished. Her original paint color was sort of a salmon color. This color is a bit brighter, which is what the buyer wanted and I think it will be adorable! I am having pink envy at the … [Read more...]
Isn't she cute?! I went and picked her up yesterday. What was suppose to be a 6 hour journey round trip turned into a 10 hour journey due to a major highway being flooded. I think we sat in bumber to bumber traffic for 2 1/2 hours. Although it wasn't without a few smiles. There was about 4 people that inched up beside us and whipped out their camera phones taking … [Read more...]
I debated for a long time whether or not to paint the inside of the door with chalkboard paint. I've seen so many cute examples of others that did their doors and thought it was such a cute and fun idea. So I bit the bullet and painted it today. What you'll need: 1. Chalkboard paint (it doesn't take much to paint the inside of a door so don't go buying a gallon … [Read more...]
For quite some time I've stared at this brown stove in my Shasta Compact and it stuck out like a sore thumb. Not that brown is a completely awful color but it's really not a fun color and it certainly doesn't do much to brighten up my little kitchen. So with that said, I sent my stove top and door off to be re-porcelained. Applying new porcelain requires stripping … [Read more...]
I bought this great handmade stove cover for the Shasta Compact from Wendy's Prims N Things on eBay. I had it custom made so it would fit over the little stove perfectly. They did a fantastic job! I had them leave it unfinished so I could paint it to match my interior wall color which is a very pale yellow. Notice how it's wide enough that the right side sits on the … [Read more...]
I found this metal waste paper basket at a Estate sale and thought it was pretty neat. It was originally black (darn, forgot to take a "before" picture). Anyway, so I sprayed painted it robin egg blue and I think it did it wonders. It's the perfect size to tuck into a closet of a vintage trailer. It's one of the items I'll have at next month's Antique/Flea sale here … [Read more...]
I'm trying to get several projects done this weekend and wanted to share this one with you all. I decided that we could use some shelves in the closet. You can never have too many shelves. We have one of those hanging closet organizers in this closet but I also really wanted some stationary ones for food and or more clothes storage. So off to the hardware store … [Read more...]
