VINTAGE SHASTA RECYCLED WINDOW


My  1963 Shasta was missing one of her side windows due to the previous owner having a window air conditioner in it. I have been looking high and low for a replacement to no avail ....yet. This afternoon I dug through all my miscellaneous boxes and came up with this for now. I have to admit... kinda love it!
It's made with a scrap piece of  wood that I painted silver, then attached a mirror and a floor grate to it.

SHE'S HOME!!!!

Today I finally got my baby home!!!!

 Let the glamification begin!!!!



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.
