Camping is supposed to be fun and relaxing.
How can I relax and enjoy
myself when all around me, shiny brass,
floral walls and dirty GREEN carpet. In "Just do it" mode - I grabbed the Kilz and got busy covering up the floral walls of days gone by. So easy - why did I not do this years ago
. |
| covered these shades with fabric and painted the shiny brass. (this is before) |
I spent hours trying to figure out how to cover up these decal laden cabinets... old tin? contact paper?....5 minutes with a razor blade solved this dilemma
I had broken the globe over the light fixture over the table. After several failed attempts to "Hacki Shack" it, I finally
removed the chains from a garage Sale hanging basket and wired it onto the existing screw. Love this!!
failures - which, failure is a big part of my
costly lessons. I had read on the internet
that you could dye velvet. Well, that might
work on real velvet, but on this synthetic
velvet, it rubs right off. I always wanted to
cover a recliner. not. After picture for this will emerge someday.

| Now, what can i do about the couch? If you notice, there is no before picture of the couch. There is a reason for that - and I bet you can guess what it is. I bought 2 drop clothes - about $25.00 each and started tearing and stapling. The only sewing I did, was a few hand stitches on the underside of the top cushions. |

| hmmm...how can I spice this up? |
 |
| /stapled fabric to the wall - stapled a valance over the top of the bed that was made out of a chenille pillow sham and spray painted stencil over the mirrored cabinets. Busted up a garage sale Chandelier and added crystals to make the chandelier and small light covers over the headboard Wish I would've done this years earlier, but then again, I would probably just be ready to redo it by now! Ahhh.......NOW i can be a Happy Camper! |
