Driving Ms. Daisy…1969 Shasta Trailer

 

In October of 2010, I brought home a Shasta 1400, she was pretty ugly.  Since it was so late in the year, I wasn’t able to do anything until the Spring of 2011.

 

Don’t you just love the décor?

 

My least favorite color of paneling, if I had to chose one?  Not blonde!  What I did love about this trailer was the front kitchen.  And that door on the left?  The bathroom!  Yay! 

 

So I got to priming, with my all time favorite primer, Zinnser Bullseye 123.  I already feel better. 

I loved the full long couch on the left that makes into a double bed.  The table area also makes into a bed.  The above bunk was removed and made into a storage area.  This trailer has tons of storage.  It is under all the beds and even above.

 

I chose a three color decorating theme.  I was able to get the stove powder coated, locally, for about $50.  I have since learned you can use Automotive Drive Train paint, which comes in about a dozen colors and is good up to 600 degrees.  And save some money, for other fun decorating.   I even spray painted the drawer handles. 

I love Mexico, having traveled there several times and chose this as my theme.  I joined Sisters on the Fly, in September of 2011 and have been having a wonderful time traveling around the Northwest, with my fellow sisters.

   

 

 

 

I just love this fantastic vintage sombrero I got from another sister. 

This last July I was finally able to get the exterior painted.  It is always an ongoing process.  I just got new flooring in this fall.

We always have the best time, when we get together.

 

The flooring is a bit retro with the sort of paint splashed colors. 

I can’t wait for Spring….Ha! 

I am going to share this post at these parties…..
