My Little River Cabin

THOUGHTS AND RAMBLINGS

my little blog was created for me and a few friends to watch and keep track of "Little Cabin's" transformation....and if others pop in and enjoy, I'm happy...

it's simple...stuff is added when I have time...

and....it's ONLY about little cabin....her previous meager existence...and her emergence into a warm, quiet, fun, relaxing retreat.

All you mobile home owners out there check out this great mobile home blog: Mobile Home Living.

Great tips on painting, repair and links to other mobile home blogs and their beautiful decorating and tricks. Fun stuff. Mobile home bloggers UNITE!!!

The right side of my original photos are blurry....why you say? The day I took them I was so tired from working that I thought my eyes were tired and not focusing. In reality it was a finger smudge on the lens of the camera. Got a kick our of myself when I realized what had happened.

August is not a good time of year to begin remodeling a mobile home. Especially one that has 2 barely working air conditioners, both scarcely hanging from the windows in which they were placed. The weather was in the 100's and my little tuna can reeked of leftover odors from cigarettes and a dog...not a good picture.

My role model for this endeavor... MY AUNT MARY, who encouraged me all along the way by listening and laughing with me. She was a fixer-upper and remodeler...and I would follow in her footsteps!?!

Close up of the living room wall. There used to be eleven alternating strips of mirror and wood, do you think I'd remember to take a picture...hello!!

One day at Costco I saw "THE FIREPLACE" oh my god, she was beautiful...perfect width, perfect height...I went back 3 times before I could bring myself to pay full price...Here she sits...electric, flames the whole banana...dontcha just love the mirror?!!

Vaya Con Dios my friends...

I think the marriage was made in Heaven. How absolutely divine! And the walls and floor are so beautiful too. Wouldn't believe that this is all inside a mobile home! Great work lady!

Rachel said...: I live in a mobile too, and just found your blog. I love this wall. We had our tv on the the same wall,and now our sectional is in the corner. I have been thinking of doing something similar. Very, very lovely. I have a few pictures on my blog of our remodels if you'd like to check it out. http://re-purposedrestorations-rachel.blogspot.com/; November 25, 2011 at 9:54 PM
Damien said...: The fireplace is beautiful. We have been considering getting a fireplace for our mobile home also, which as it turns out, is the same dimensions as yours, but were unsure about what size to get. What are the dimensions on yours please?; April 20, 2014 at 8:57 AM
