RECYCLED WOOD FLOORING

Today the hubs and I wet on a picking excursion to the local pallet factory. 

I was AMAZED at all the treasures I found! 

My dinette box seats, the side pull out couch frame , and all my wood flooring!!

WOW, AND FREE!!!

You could stain and varnish at this point. I wanted a french decor, so I whitewashed it with some watered down paint and a broom. Then it was sealed really good with a clear satin exterior sealer.

DINETTE CUSHION

Today I started laying out the fabric for my dinette cushions.

 I'm trying to get leopard print and pink roses to jive with the Parisian chic fashion.

 I cut the 6 inch thick foam with a electric knife, and let me tell you it cut like butter!!!




My helper Foxxy!
This is as far as I got before I remembered I forgot to get zippers!!!

I need the good metal ones, so I had to order them from Ebay. Just another bump in the road ..uugghhh.

BOONDOCKING IN THE USA

I found this great website, thought I would share....


On this web site you can contact people from all corners of the world who love RVing, boondocking, and traveling on a budget.
In North America in particular, many of us seek out Walmart stores, truck stops, and casinos for free overnight parking on route to our destinations. While we will likely continue to use these businesses, what would it be like to be welcomed by thousands of fellow RVers to spend the night parked on their private property instead?
