I’ve been wanting to find a way to hang pictures and art in Riley. But, because the interior walls are in such excellent condition, I didn’t want to make any holes in them. And, whatever you hang in the trailer needs to be light and nearly unbreakable. I decided a string or wire to […]

Ever since I got Riley, I’ve been wanting to give him a makeover. We gave him a thorough cleaning, but I want to put our personal mark on him. I didn’t have a clear direction of how I wanted him to look. Just random ideas here and there. I just knew I wanted to keep […]

I love the chance to get to experiment with a new product. Making custom things for a our little vintage trailer, Riley, is one of my favorite things. So, this week I made some custom dishes for Riley with DecoArt‘s really cool Chalky Finish Paint for Glass. It has a completely matte finish and gives […]

Earlier this Spring we took a day trip to Ojai. I’d been wanting to visit for a while and one Saturday morning we decided to put the kids in the car and go. From our house to Ojai was just a 2 hour drive. That’s the beauty of living in Bakersfield, everything is just 2 […]

Well, the new year is just about here. Time for a new calendar to help keep our home organized and up to date. I’ve always loved vintage calendar tea towels. I have one from the year I was born, made into a curtain for Riley, our vintage trailer. This year I ordered a couple pieces […]

Well, what a week. We are finally headed home. We (mostly my brother Joash) worked for 6 straight days on Riley. It really was my dad, Lonnie, Joash and I on it for a good solid week. He’s not even cute yet, but he’s super strong and safe. As soon as it cools down in […]

Stay tuned all my faithful readers, I’ll be back soon with lots of fun ideas on […]

Well, I’ve obviously taken a nice little break from blogging. The long weekend came and I was exhausted. We took Riley out and then just got a whole bunch of stuff done around our house. And then I just kept putting off posting. I’ve got a lot of my mind right now. I’m taking some […]

I’m pretty excited about this find. I’m up in Northern Cali and on Monday, my youngest brother, my mom and I did a little thrifting and antiquing in downtown Eureka. My brother found a new shop for us, Annex 39 Antiques. It’s fabulous and the prices are really great. It’s one of those fun antique stores […]

Yesterday I shared a little family video from our Spring Break camping trip to Joshua Tree. We are gearing up for Summer and camping is on my mind. I love decorating and accessorizing Riley, and I have a vision. It’s a slow process though, firstly because I’m picky and want to do it right, and […]
