Prepping the bathroom

Today I decided to prep the bathroom to be painted. We have been avoiding that room, saving it for last! I took down the towel holder and shower wand holder and cleaned them with dry steelwool. They turned out nice. Look good as new! I got everything taped up and ready to paint. At this point we cant remove the entire thing to paint it out doors, so I will use the Krylon Paint. We used it in our Overlander and it worked great! I will post more once i get it painted.

Changing the curtains

Well after much debate, I decided I wanted to go with a country theme. So it was off to the fabric store again! I chose a red checked fabric for the front and the kitchen. I wanted the bedroom to be a little different so I got online and found some Route 66 fabric and she had just enough to make my bedroom curtains and 1 pillow. Love it! Had she had enough, I would probaly done the entire thing in Rt 66!! Also found 2 Pink Flamingo Key chains at a flea market! They are hanging in front of the side curtains for the moment, havent figured out what to do with them yet! I am Happy with it now for the time being. I'm sure if I see a fabric that I cant live without, I will change it again. Next saga, the fridge!

New Gaucho and Curtains( First set of curtains)

As many of you know, I make curtains and gaucho covers. Sewing is something I love to do. That can be a bad thing sometimes because if I see a fabric I like, I have a tendancy to change the entire interior. I think I changed it 6 times in the Overlander we had. Finally John said it was enough,lol! So when I found some fabric I liked for the Tradewind, I was so excited. I knew I wanted a red gaucho but wasnt sure about the curtains. I initially thought I would make it more elegant so I made some curtains and valences to match.

Putting in new floor

I so wish I had taken pictures of John repairing the couple of holes and the old floor before we started laying the floor! There was a small place under the fridge and one by the edge of the gaucho. But anyway. We bought some laminate flooring from Lowes and replaced all the old carpet that was up front. Under the carpet was old, I am assuming, original tiles. The glue had came undone and the carpet was holding them in place! Also added a picture of how dirty the wall was behind the fridge, YUK! We also took out all the window frames and painted them and replaced all the screen. John took all the little clips and hardware from the windows and painted them.
