Tiny Turquoise Trailer

Enough already with the trailer of many colors

I really do like color.
  I know that you couldn't probably tell that I like color because I usually am dressed in mostly black.  The mostly black has more to do (this could possibly be TMI) with the size of my boobs than it does for my love of black.  Let's just say that if I wear any bright shirt, people (yes, including women) start talking to my chest.  Being naturally cursed "blessed" sometimes really stinks.  Yes, and I know by stating this, you will take particular notice when I post a photo of myself.  Try to refrain from doing this however...!

So, I guess that I don't like lots of bold color but rather "pops"  of color...
 and this whole green/turquoise/pink/purple/yellow/baby blue trailer interior is giving me the shakes. It's like living in the middle of a tie dyed shirt (sorry, Shannon, I know that you loved it).
 So, I painted the interior with the leftover exterior paint 'cause I am thrifty like that. The guy at the paint store said "I wouldn't do that because it may have stuff in it that can only be used outdoors"  So, I said, "like what, exactly" and he didn't have an answer, so I did it anyway.  I'm only going to be sleeping in this "toxic environment" a couple of times a year and, honestly, I've done dumber stuff.  

When Madisen took a look inside, she yelled. 
"Mom, you said no white walls - ever" 
 This is, actually, a true mantra of mine - I actually hate, hate, hate white walls 
but, somehow this felt right... and so, hence...white walls.
Secretly, I LOVE these fresh white walls and woodwork.
This trailer has turned me into a really weird person

Just ask my family...
I sometimes catch them giving me the side eye...

BEFORE

AFTA!

Honestly, there was a crapload of painting that had to go on.
A CRAPLOAD...

Everything needed a coat of primer and then two coats of the apparently toxic exterior paint.

Also, please notice that I put some beadboard on the back of the banquette seat.
I say "please notice" because not only does it look fantabulous but my husband helped me and
he needs snaps wherever he can get them.



It really is cute in its own way...but, no...

Yay!


I know that many of you may be envious of my turquoise stove, icebox and sink.
Believe me, it was a MAJOR selling point.
They are so beyond cute.


We put  hinges on the back of this side of the banquette beadboard because
 the deep cell battery is stored behind it.  This is also a genius idea of my hubby. 
That's why we pay him the big bucks.
