Busy As A Bee

trailer 003 

 

It was another beautiful day, so I hustled out to my vintage trailer and got right to work.  I wanted to create some added storage space by hanging some hooks in the closet.

I reorganized all my cupboards, earlier in the week, so I was able to stock a few groceries and other items, today.

And last but not least, I finally finished hanging a light fixture over the sink.  I had to adapt an old one to fit the spot.  Got the propane tanks full, and charging the battery tonight.  So I am ready to hit the road the end of next week.

I love my little trailer dish towel…..

With the addition of the flooring late last fall, I am now finished with ‘Driving Ms. Daisy’, except for some graphics on the exterior.  I also got a brand new spare tire so I am good for long distances, as one of my trips this summer is to the ocean.

    I just love Ms Daisy! Your colors are what I hope to use as accents in my next home.
    So where are you off to now? Somewhere to rondevous with that long, tall cowboy?

    1. No long tall cowboy in my life...and that works best for me. Heading a bit south only a couple hours away but hopefully warmer. It's raining here now.

    Happy trails,

  12. Oh, I love your trailer! I wish hubby and I could do that with one, but I'm not sure we'd fit! We are tall, so I'll have to design one for my office some day.

  13. I'll keep my eye open for a long tall cowboy, but would you settle for a short one if that's what I find?

    1. Yes, I did refinish the stove. I had it powder coated. You can buy Drivetrain paint at any automotive shop and it would work great, as it is ok up to 800 degrees. It comes in about a dozen colors.

    2. What Brand/Manufacturer is your gorgeous stove? Love the whole caravan!

  20. Love all your pictures! Your color choices are inspiring Karen. I'm redoing my Vintage 1974 Terry Travel Trailer. Her name is LUCY! She's bright and full of color just how I like it. Thank you for your site. Grama Debbie
