Thriftin’ Time Tuesdays

 

I’ve been working long hours this last week to get Ms. Daisy ready for the road.  Here’s a little preview….

The table is set, come and join me….

I put all the finished doors back up, added a few more red touches and soon it will be time to decorate the walls.

I love the new red ‘hot’ stove!  I never planned for this much red but I like it….wait until you see the new cushions!!!  Oh, no you don’t, no peeking, not until the next Ms. D post!

This kitchen has almost as much countertop as my (home) kitchen.  What do you think of that funky old rot iron paper towel holder (that weighs a ton)?  I found that at a garage sale at a MaryJane’s Farmgirls meet in Prosser, WA.  A dab of red spray paint goes a long way.  I didn’t have the fabric yet but look how the design is repeated in the curtains I made.  Bought from a Mexican for my Mexican themed trailer! I even got a vintage tortilla maker (I think you put it in the fire).  How fun is that?

I got my battery for backup but need to shop for a new fridge.  Wish me luck finding one to fit my retrofitted space!  (I hate when stuff like this happens).

I am off to do a little outside work on this baby.

  1. Oh my goodness, I am giddy with excitement just watching your hard work in transforming this piece of coal into a diamond. She is perfect in every way...BRAVO!! on a job well done. She will have head turning as you fly down the road... I can just see her grinnin' now.

    I LOVE YOUR towel rack!!! What an eye you have for finding and turning trash into treasures.

    OH... I want one... if just to park in the yard and go sit in her and dream.... Guess I will had to dream from my back porch for now and see your dream come to life.

    Cant wait to see more, you are so creative~!

  3. Bright and cheery kitchen girl!! I have never seen a red range before! And love the springy color on the walls.

    re frog: uh oh. I am not sure what on earth I am doing some times. I did not even remember about the frog. I'll have to go see which one and post it at the store. =)
    Frame: It is actually a lovely picutre, but I will get price, show better pic etc. So far behind on everything. Tons of inventory I have not even priced and entered to computer yet.
    Am I in over my head? maybe. =)

I am on the hunt for similar tractor parts to have hubby make me one too. :) they are hard work but so worth the result. Campin in the great outdoors! :)
