As Ron Weasley would say

"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat Shasta yellow!"

Well, it wasn't as easy as Ron made it seem but it did only take five coats plus a primer.

Primer

first coat

second coat

third coat

fourth coat

and finally, after lots of watching paint dry the fifth and final coat was finished!

Isn't her new paint job just beautiful!!?!

I think I am in love..

Lemon Yellow Cabinets

Hello Mellow Yellow!

The cabinets are complete! Here is a before and after picture. Please excuse the mess on the counter top. We are still in the middle of renovating :)

Before, drab and monotone.

After, sunny and bright!

pretty detail

Take a look at the sweet molding the handy man Tozzi put in.
It is such a nice detail I think.You can see from the photos that the paint is almost complete. Pictures of that soon!

before and afters

So I know it has been awhile since I updated. I swear we have been working on the Shasta, my computer just pooped out for awhile so I couldn't upload my pictures until now. I'm sure the suspense was a killer.So I thought I would do a few before after type of photos to see what we have been up to!

The stove was so rusty before. Luckily it was just surface rust. Nothing a little power tooling sander wont hurt.

This is a side by side picture of what the floor was before, and the floor we picked to put in instead of it. So much prettier.

I must have forgotten to take a picture of the awful light fixtures that were original to the camper. This is the only picture I could find with them. Anyway, the new ones we installed are so much better. And by we, I mean Anthony and I held up the screws.haha

Thats it for now. More pictures soon!

P.S. a teaser. Anthony has thought of the perfect name for our baby to paint on the outside!

Goodbye madam butterfly

There is retro cute and there is retro nasty.

Shasta vintage campers are retro wonderful!

This butterfly decal on the refrigerator is retro huge no-no.

Just say "No" to 70's butterflies.

It had to go. Lots of scraping and cursing happened last weekend.

Gone.
