Todays Progress on The Little Vintage Travel Trailer
The Wood is in above the Kitchen Counter
The Refrigerator - Open
The Refrigerator Door is Painted and Installed - This is Red PRIMER. I planned on priming and painting it, but seeing this color, I fell hard for it. I will take it apart one more time and clear coat the red in a Matte finish. I like that it does not have a sheen to it. It goes really well with the other interior colors.
Before - the vent at ceiling
After - Trimmed out
The Charles M. Russell Western Print "The Jerk Line" is trimmed out
The New Table Hanging hardware arrived from Vintage Trailer Supply
The table is installed!
The brushed Stainless is propped up and waiting to be installed in the kitchen
Another View. This is going to be tricky - Whoever put this in the first time cut it short - I am going to have to come up with some creative trim work....oh well - cleaning it was at least half of the battle! All in all, a very productive day!

The Painted Side Walls in the Vintage Winnebago Travel Trailer
After PAINTING the original side walls three differnt colors, and not liking any of them. The rear end is new wood with three coats of shellac applied so far.
The last color was a yellow. I dripped some shellac while applying it to the end wall, and liked the color it turned the paint. An idea was born....
I decided to SHELLAC over the paint on the side walls. Here is the rear side wall with approx. 6 coats of Amber Shellac applied to it in a "cross hatch" pattern to give it an aged and uneven appearance. It kind of reminds me of old plaster or faux burl.
The rear window wall is shellac on wood - the side wall to the left at the rear is shellac over paint.
