Trip to Eleven Mile Reservoir!
We loved Eleven Mile Reservoir and look forward to returning! May 6-8, 2016 Beautiful!! And on the way home…… this happened. John did a great job of getting the truck and the rig stopped but who would ever think to look for the truck’s jack under the passenger seat!
10 Unusual Things You’ll Be Grateful You Have On Your RV Checklist
Here’s an off the beaten road RV Checklist of things you’ll want to have when you’re out and about! RV Checklist #1. Window washing equipment – They can be clean when you leave home but they may not be clean when you arrive! It’s a shame to have to look at the gorgeous scenery through mucky windows! RV Checklist #2. Crunky clothes — disposable if you will — almost self explanatory. You’re going to get into situations where you will want clothes that can be discarded if need be. Whether…
Better in Blue – RV Redecorating
RV redecorating should be it’s own show. I’ve seen some amazing overhauls on the internet. But what about those of us who don’t want to tear the whole thing apart before we’ve spent some time inside? Here you go! RV redecorating on the down low….. easy changes that make a big difference! We showed you the beginning shots of Little House of Big (on wheels) with her strong dusty rose/mauve tones (see the Pretty in Pink (NOT!) post). Let me reveal to you our Better in Blue project! To try…
8 Things to Think About When You’re Looking To Buy an RV
Want to buy an RV? Let’s talk…. I’m a thinker. I like to pre-think situations. It’s a strength of mine. So when we started looking at trailers/RV’s, my mind went spinning, thinking through future situations and uses. I’ll spare you some of the spinning, but here are some of my thoughts: How many people (and of what size) are going to sleep where in the RV? I know this seems basic but John is very tall. A lot of the campers have very small main beds. We still like each other…
The Trip of Firsts: First RV Camping Trip
There always has to be a First RV Camping Trip…… Here’s the story of ours. We bought her in a snow storm and Mother Nature, being the bitch that she is, is determined to make us test her in a snow storm. We booked out April 15th and April 22nd to be our two, close to home with full hook up, test runs. And Mother Nature just laughed and laughed. The weekend of April 8th was lovely with the entire weekend in the mid 70’s, bright Colorado sunshine. The weekend…
Recovering Banquet Cushions – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and The Frustrating
So you think you can recover cushions…… so did I……. You’ve seen the pink interior. Here’s a close up of the eye pleasing fabric the manufacturer chose. Pretty, right? Actually, I don’t think it’s too bad. It’s just that it was E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E and not compatible with any other pattern. We want to down play the pink and that meant that this pattern needed to go. Let’s be honest. I’m a crafter, not a seamstress. But I’m a hard headed crafter. Somehow I believe that there’s not too many things…
Pretty In Pink (NOT!)
This is our 2005, 26 foot Dutchmen Travel Trailer — when we got it. The previous owners clearly took very good care of it. The stove and the oven don’t even look like they were ever used. If it weren’t for some wear and tear on the pass through and some wear on the wall paper, you wouldn’t think it had been used very much. We know that the camper was lived in by a retired couple. We have not seen evidence of upgrades or…
It all started with a dream….
Once upon a time, in a small house in a regular neighborhood, there lived a couple who had a dream. Theirs was a dream that seemed impossible in the middle of raising a family, working two jobs, maintaining a house (and keeping up with the laundry) and other normal life responsibilities. This couple had a dream of travelling around in a RV which would allow the man to pursue his love (and gift) of photography while feeding the woman’s love of history and places. This was our dream. Our far,…
