As we prepare to transition out of airstream living (over the next year or so), we've been motivated to tie up some loose ends in the trailer.
Here are a few of the prettier projects from the last couple weeks.
New Headboard:
First, here was the "bedroom" when we first got the airstream in 2012. Note the hideous curtains. And the lack of, um, everything for a bedroom...
We got a bed frame very soon after this first photo and a plywood headboard not long after Lucy arrived. You can see the headboard in the background of this picture of my goofy girls.
It was lovely to go from the utilitarian plywood headboard to this cushy upholstered item. It feels so civilized!
I think the snuggly baby accents it nicely.
Next: Removing the old mini blinds! We got the last of them out yesterday and hung up more matching curtains. Makes me happy!
Installing the last of the kitchen doors:
To fully appreciate the kitchen, one must see the before:
Ick ick ick! Grass seed from a mouse hoard on the floor, curtains all stained with rodent mess. No coverings on the cupboards. Mini-blinds. It's come a long way!
Here it is half-way done:
Lots of painting done. Mouse mess cleaned. New table. Some drawer and cupboard covers.
And here it is after the last finishing touches! Including a rack of clean dishes. :) Real life in a tiny airstream.
I've really enjoyed having that under the sink space covered!
There are a few more tiny things to be done, but it's mostly finished. Lovely airstream has taught us a lot. It's been a good, challenging season of life.
(Not a new pic...I just enjoy it.)
