The Decorating Commences

I just had to get a sticker made with one of my favorite quotes. (Waiting for fabric to come back in stock so I can finish my curtains. hehe)

Thank you Hobby Lobby, Ebay, Etsy, Jo Ann's, & Home Goods! And my trusty sewing machine, she is getting there. 

 I have a secondary fabric I'm making a few more pillows with to cover the bench area and I also ran out of my curtain fabric so I'm patiently waiting for the postman to bring more.

I love the contrast of the feminine flowers & crystals against the iron western star. Would love to figure out a way to showcase these together.

 My clock vignette is a quick reminder of the times at all the places we travel to & where we are from. One is set to 5:00pm at all times, this represents Margaritaville. ;-) I also need more small checked fabric from JoAnns to make the smaller window boxes. (Same fabric as pillow to the right)

My bulletin board holds passports like my Rte 66 one, and any other travel mementos I collect. It also has a few family pics so I don't miss them too much while I'm gone!

Still need to complete the moulding like EVERYWHERE, but couldn't resist starting to glamp her up!

The Building of a Tchotchke Shelf

I've seen these shelves in various trailers, mostly to hold a bunk bed, however my Sante Fe didn't come with one. But I needed a place to decorate & it was so empty on this huge curved area of the wall. So Mike and our son built a shelf by using wood, L brackets, wood glue, & a piece of primed crown moulding from the hardware store. 

It is very sturdy! When we pull on it, it doesn't even budge. At this point all I had to do was caulk the screw holes in front of moulding, sides where it meets the wall, & paint! I also painted the L brackets the color of the wall to hide them more. All of my decorating will hide these anyway.
