Redecorating

Whenever Mom moves she always likes to redecorate to make the place more “her”. Our traveling house is no exception.

First, she took out the dinette that she said only skinny people could sit at, and replaced it with a table that you can eat at, and

that doubles as a piano table if you move the keyboard forward. It has storage underneath, which is really needed when you live in such a small place.

The old love seat had a center console with drink holders. There wasn't enough room for Mom, Dad, Sammy and me to all sit at the same time without someone being in the wrong lap. So that got replaced with a regular size sofa. Now we all have room to sit. Of course, both Sammy and I still like to sit in laps but at least we all have room to move around.

Next, she removed the cornices and covered the top part with fabric to match the new curtains. Then she replaced the dark blinds with pull down shades that roll up completely out of the way during the day. More sunlight now comes in and the whole place is more colorful and cheerful. Of course, Dad helped at lot. 

So the redecorating of the slide-out section is now complete. Mom says she has plans for other areas. We'll see what she comes up with. (I've heard rumors that the bedroom is next.) I'll keep you posted.
