She showed up at our church's annual rummage sale. She's perfect don't ya think?
There was a question asked in the comment section of a previous post. Sorry, I'm just now getting to answer it. The question was what kind of paint did we use on the inside for the plastic trim pieces. We used Krylon Fusion for Plastic. My husband washed all of the parts first with regular soapy water and then followed that up with an ammonia based cleaner. The ammonia based cleaner is recommended by Krylon.
Krylon also makes a Textured Simmer product for plastic that we also used. It's great for camouflaging repairs to cracked plastic. We (as in my husband) used it for the band at the front of the large plastic ceiling piece. He repaired a crack above the rear view mirror. He used that texture product for the 6 or 8 inch band that runs along the edge. The texture product does not come in the same color so this band got repainted after it was dry.
UNFORTUNATELY...the repair did not survive the winter. We (as in my husband) will try something different and will repaint with the Krylon again. I'll try to remember to get pictures and post the repair.
I've been FABRIC shopping. After the trip out west last year and having to sit on towels because that upholstery is "vintage" and uncomfortable, I've been itching to reupholster the seats. Here's what I've been thinking of.
and
Both of these fabrics are available through JoAnn Fabrics.
I'm thinking that the seats will get done in the solid and the seat backs will get done in the print. I will also use the solid for the back of the dinette and for the trim panel that goes on the wall under the dinette.
I'm still working on getting new front seats but the guys in this house STILL have not forgiven me for ripping out the oh so vintage green shag carpet and are very unwilling update Margarita's front seats. What am I to do???
