PAINT * PAINT * PAINT

Wow it has been awhile since my last post ... I am a wood working paint covered crazed glamper.

I had to scrub my little Princess stove ♛ inside and out.

 A can of oven cleaner and some steel wool did the trick.

 I decided to glamp it up a bit to match the inside of Jimmy.

After searching the web (75% of my day) I ordered a high heat engine paint to complete the job.

************
Haven't hooked it up to the propane tank yet to see if I can burn  a can of pork & beans

(pork = little white chunk of squishy fat product, yuck) 

 BUT the little Princess Stove ♛ sure does look PURDY!

 

OH WAIT ... there was that issue I had with the High Heat Engine Paint...

 

I had to do a few touch ups so I sprayed a little of the beautiful turquoise paint into a

"red solo cup" 

 I took the pieces outside to dry came back and found THIS ... DUH  DUH  DUUUUHHH ...

 

 The bottom of the red cup totally melted and left a beautiful red ring on my kitchen table.

Jim Beam would NEVER do this !

 

 

Maybe after I'm finished with my custom Camper table I can fix the kitchen one !

 

Enjoy your Dirty Day !

 

 

 

Couldn't resist posting this cute little photo of my grandma. You just know they hauled the table and fish bowl outside for props way back in 1922.

ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT

"No Boats or RVs allowed in Subdivision at Any Time"

So the dreaded “HOA” has found me out. I had to move Jimmy out of the subdivision or face a $500 fine. Took him to a storage lot and I have to say I felt a deep sadness leaving my  little Jimmy all alone next to the big bad 5th wheels . It reminded me of my little  boys first day of school walking next to the big kids in the hall. He looks so tiny.

So now I have to be more motivated to get things done. I’ll have to work on him in 24 hour periods. Haul him home .. Work Work Work .. Wait for Mrs Kravits across the street to tattle on me, then quick haul him back to the big boy lot.. Just have to have a game plan instead of sitting in side daydreaming with a bottle of wine. 

I shined up the Hardware for the cabinets and I think they look pretty damn good. A little CLR and a little steel wool.  The CLR dissolved the old varnish and rust in less than 12 hours.

 

Still shopping and today I found my best find ever .. SO FREAKING EXCITED !

I have been pondering table and counter top ideas.  So hard to find the vintage Formica anymore. Very pricey online. Right around the price of a kidney.

I guess I could sell a Kidney . Liver ?  No!  Kidney?  sure why not.

TODAY

 whoo hooo

I found this cute little pink table.

 

 

 

VINTAGE BOOMERANG PATTERN

 

Measurements are pretty close . All have to do is remove the top and figure how to cut off a corner  WITHOUT chipping the Formica . The  corner next to the stove needs to come off so I can squeeze my fat butt into the bench

It’s so stinkin' cute. 

( the table not my fat butt)

 

 

I made sure I had ALL my measurement before I took Jimmy to  RV prison.  Time to get out the sewing machine and start on the curtains and cushions …. I NEED to hurry trout season begins in less than a month in Missouri . YEE-HAW !!!
