Now that I'm back on here, I realize that I never posted-up the final trailer pictures, so here also are those for your viewing pleasure, too:

We've got our new trailer - YIPPEE!!!

Check out the crazy AWESOME fridge!! (No, the purse didn't come with the trailer, I already had that).

Shiny new countertop.

New mattresses & they prop-up like a chaise lounge, too :D

Great custom magazine rack & booth seating

ORIGINAL Formica doors.....and they reverse to Pink Boomerang Formica, too!

Great detailing!!

& Awesome custom clock, too!

YEAH!!!!!

Now I need to make the curtains & bedspreads, which will be made out of various different vintage Chenille.  It'll probably take me a month or 2 to get it done, but I'll post-up a few more pictures of when I do get those done & then we;ll be focusing totally on the HOUSE PLANS!!!

Trailer Skin & Paintjob!

First-up, the skin goes on the trailer...starting to look whole!

& then the paint - sure looks pretty!!!!!

The Travel Trailer gets closer!!

It's been a while since we shared an update on the travel trailer, so here goes - quite a lot of progress of late!

First up, the kitchen is tarting to come together - with fabulous vintage Pink Boomerang Formica:

& more walls go up!:

And more of the interior of the trailer begins to take shape:

& then the insulation & brand new, very WHITE exterior skin goes on:

NEXT-UP:  The exterior paint job!!

Travel Trailer Colors

We picked out the colors for the exterior of the travel trailer last night, which was really FUN!!

The dominant color will be white, with stripes & design done with these.

Seaside Green - from the 1956 Studebaker Line:

For the Pink, my first choice is "Elvis Rose", which is the color that was created for Elvis' Pink Cadillac.  This is my back-up color.  The refrigerator will also be this color.

Sunset Glow Pink from the 1957 Oldsmobile line:

And, finally, the Yellow - from a 1961 Rambler - Waikiki Gold:

A fun side project

We've got a little project going on the side, which is re-habbing a vintage 50's DeVille travel trailer.  A company in Erie, CO is doing the restoration, directed by your truly.  DeVille trailers were very well made, which provides a great start of the restoration.

The overall look & feel will be 50's Pink, Aqua & Yellow, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves, as here is the "before" of the outside of the trailer - on it's way from New Mexico to Colorado

& a couple weeks later, this is what it is looking like today, as the restoration has begun!

There was a fair amount of wood rot once the skin was removed, which is not surprising given the age.  All of that rotted wood will be replaced with new wood.

& disassembled even more - ready to start!!
