Friday Night Happy Hour

It just kind of came together!  After a long week, I suggested to hubby that we just relax and have a happy hour in the driveway. 

So we rolled Lila Jane out into the driveway, setup a few things and primped her up a bit.

The lilacs just came out ..they are so fragrant.  I just happened to make a mini-glass totem and had to keep it for the picnic table.

I then tweeted from my iPad that Richie and I were having happy hour and attached a picture and next thing I knew......

We ordered a pizza and sat outside until near dark.  After these two left, it was getting a little cool.  Richie and I went inside Lila Jane and finished our cocktails by candle light.  Just sat and admired the interior of my little camper.  It felt so cozy and wonderful.

What a great evening it was!

So Close!

Driveway test today

Just a few more curtains to finish

"The Rug"

Drove through the State Park and found our "spot" along a creek!  Weather is starting to improve.  Good temps this week.  Just have to finish curtains, pick up the other seat cushion, add throw pillows and bedding, get the title transferred and license plate and stock the cupboards, nooks and crannies!  So damn excited!

Third Attempt to Post Today

I was out in the camper posting from my iPad and Blogpress was having trouble uploading my photos.

I painted the interior of Lila Jane today.  All the walls, closet and cupboard and trim is done.  Dove White.  It really looks good.  Took a break, had a large iced coffee in the camper and then scrubbed the floor.

Richie hung the towel rack and a curtain rod.  Things are really taking shape.  Time to complete the curtain making.  Twas a great day today....lots of accomplishments on Lila!

 More later!

Vintage Linens for Camper

My friend, Kathy, called me on Saturday to let me know there was a Vintage Linen Sale in Grand Haven. One day only.  Jackie and I head over there.  What a lovely sale.  The lady had the nicest, cleanest linens.  Everything was displayed so nicely.  She had a lovely home and such nice touches.  I purchased a few things for the outside tables when we take Lila Jane on the road.

They will look so cute on a picnic table.  Getting closer each day!

Vintage Camper Progress Report

As many of you may know, my husband surprised me last fall with this lovely little gem.

I named her Lila Jane.

She's been tucked in our garage, all warm and cozy, for the winter. Richard has been working diligently on the interior. She is really looking good. We're aiming for our maiden  camping excursion this spring.

Original wall paneling

Original closet area

Original Flooring

Side wall stripped to insulation

Now this:

Nice new bead board paneling

 

New Upper Cabinet and electrical

Replaced Flooring and rebuild seat frames

Updated insulation and wall complete

Looking pretty sweet, don't you think.  There's much work to do yet, but we're getting there.
This has been my latest project:

Paint removal on window frames.  Lots of scraping to do.

I've been working on decorating ideas inside.  Curtains, bedding, cushions, etc.  White, turqoise, and pink!  Isn't that going to be perfect?
And yes, my husband will love it at deer camp!  They must take their shoes off and strip before they enter.

Stay tuned for more progress as we move along.  Any decorating ideas....I'm open.
Babs~  Thanks Richie, for your hard work~
