What color to paint Bella? Well I know she is going to be red and white. But what design do I want. I have looked at soooooooo many vintage travel trailers that I think I might just scream! I want to paint a red stripe with white polka dots. I know, sounds crazy but I don't do anything normal. Although it may just be a plain red stripe since I know I will have to paint all the polka dots. I was thinking I could make a stencil and spray paint the white dots...or I could just paint them all by hand. I will be spray painting her entirely since I don't want to pay anyone to do what I can do. What to do, what to do? I am making her awning for the front and it will match the red and white polka dot theme. I have already covered all the cushions and sewn all the curtains. As soon as I get all the paneling up, I can start painting the inside. I also have to rebuild the cabinet over the sink and stove. I reused all the screws and hinges on the cabinets and I have already spray painted them white.
She is looking so pretty. I can't wait to post the finished photos! I have taken out every single screw and replaced them with new ones. I have put silicone putty around all the trim, windows and door. Anything that looked like it might leak...I caulked! New putty under all the trim and windows first and then I caulked. Hopefully she will not spring a leak anymore. I have been working on Bella since the end of May off and on according to the weather and more steadily the last 4 weeks with the exception of one week because I was on jury duty. I think she should be finished within the next 2 weeks just in time for my first craft show. My list seems to be a mile long still on Bella and then I have my other list for my craft show that is a mile long. Lord give me strength....
