Fabric!

The final selection for the sofa and dinette cushions.. On sale from Hobby Lobby. I checked Joanns up and down, and couldn't find the perfect fabric. Hobby Lobby to the rescue! 

And the curtain fabric! I fell in love with this print as soon as I saw it. Retro enough to fit, just the right shade of green, and modish enough to make the trailer shine! I'm also proud to say I got this fabric for $8 a yard, not the $34.99 it was priced. Never go to Joanns without coupons!

Next up, an easy no-zipper cushion-cover tutorial--because upholstery zippers are CRAZY spendy!

Before


Our lovely little trailer! Tires so ancient we were certain they'd pop on the way home, an electrical connection that doesn't work, water damage here and there, and a broken 'fridge and heater, but for $1500 it's all ours!

 All of the original upholstery is here..only it's brittle and chock full of holes. Must go.

My wonderful helpers! We sprayed the mildewed spots with bleach cleaner, vacuumed, and then washed it top to bottom with hot soapy water + vinegar and lavender oil. Now it smells heavenly! 

The Kitchen. Note the green wallpaper and stove. I wonder if I can keep those?!
