More Scenes From a Trailer Park: 1955 Roadcraft aka Silver Suitcase® #4

Another captured look of the "Country Cottage".

Can't say it enough. Design is in the details.

Cozy, no? 

Scenes From a Trailer Park: 1955 Roadcraft aka Silver Suitcase® #4

The "Country Cottage" is coming along nicely...

Design is all in the details.

As is everything in Life. 

I'm thinking Snickerdoodles for when the ice bucket isn't in use.

That's Country Cottage-ish, no?

Silver Suitcase® #4 Design Update: The 1955 Roadcraft Formerly Known As 1960 Park Model

Things are coming along nicely on the Country Cottage in Joshua Tree:

Remember the kitchen? 

Pretty Dreary - almost Breaking Bad-ish.

I put in some counter tops, a stove/oven, replaced some drawers, painted the wall a warm golden yellow, and switched out the sink fixtures. 

I kept the cabinets as I wanted that rustic not too done feel. 

I wanted to retain some of the "historical" design of the trailer. 

My goal with this trailer was to give it a more woodsy cabin feel.

I do love the softer light here.

Looking at the Living Room + Bedroom Area from the Kitchen: 

Guest Bedroom:

I'd be a happy guest, wouldn't you?

At times it was tricky to keep the colors on the warmer side, but I had to keep with the warm country cottage via vintage trailer via Joshua Tree theme in mind at all times.

Don't forget this trailer will serve as a dual purpose: One as a getaway, and it will also be used as The Paul Kaplan Group Joshua Tree Outpost office. 

There's still some tinkering to be done here and there, but most of the 1955 Roadcraft Country Cottage is pretty much done!

Silver Suitcase® # 4 Decor Update:1960 Park Model!

I'm almost done with the "Country Cottage"!

 My 1960 Park Model has most of the furniture in, but still needs some trim painting, bathroom fixtures, a few final accessories and it should be completed! 

Remember how it looked?

Soon to be reading nook - maybe.

One view of the living area:

It's coming along!

I love the light here, it's definitely softer than the Palm Springs 

direct sunlight.

The finish line is in sight! 

1960 Park Model Renovation + Decor Update!

The 1960 Park Model , also known as Silver Suitcase® # 4 is coming along nicely.

This trailer is going to be my outpost office as well as my "country home"

I kept the cabinets! Remember? 

I wanted to create a more woodsy, cabin type feeling since it would be in Joshua Tree. I also wanted something completely opposite  of my home trailer.

So... whadyya think? 

I'm getting there.

***A friend asked about the matches in the vase next to the chair. I've been collecting matches since I was a kid, but only from what I deem to be special places. I think it's a pretty cool collection! 

1960 Park Model Trailer AKA The "Cottage" Update

That is some YELLOW lineloeum that went down the other day in 

Silver Suitcase® #4!

I think the yellow works for Joshua Tree, am I right?

World Famous Crochet Museum: Joshua Tree

If you've not yet been to Joshua Tree, be sure to spend a day up there poking around at the art scene.  One of my favorite stops is Art Queen, where they have the World Famous Crochet Museum on their back lot, amongst a lot of other interesting items.
