This weekend I decided to carry the basket weave trim to the mirror wall. Originally, I wanted the mirror to take up the entire wall, but that didn’t happen. I kind of like it with the orange on the bottom as well as the top. When I touch up […]

Living Room To-Do List
Last week I started my third class with Alyson B. Stanfield. She is the author of my favorite art business book, I’d Rather Be In The Studio. The first week, among other things, we were supposed to take a before picture of our office and do one thing to immediately improve […]
Organize Your Art Biz
We had a bit of a snafu when trying to hang the mirror. First, I wanted to hang it horizontally. This would cover the window completely and make the room seem wider. There was great debate over how the mirror would be secured. This mirror is too heavy, that mirror […]
Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
After the failed attempt at plumbing we managed to hang a mirror and level the cabinet. Oh, my friend built a new toilet box/stand/support. I also cut some board to cover the pipe and my friend cut the trim. He realized he put it on the wrong boards so that […]
To The Make-Over, Batman
The following stopped progress for a day and a half: If you look directly below the valve, you will see the culprit. Plumbing is a bitch. We originally had a leak at the connection to the sink. It was a flexible plastic pipe with the nut permanently attached. My friend […]
Drip, Drip, Drip
Here is my new shower head/faucet. As you can see, the old shower head didn’t even hang on the wall any more. This shower head is supposed to be a fancy, never clog, oxygenated, use less water shower head. I think it looks like the Alien. I may get […]
Shower Before And After Continued
I have updated the bedroom and bathroom lists. So close, yet so far. If you want to see where I started, click here. I’m working on pulling stills from the video.
To-Do Lists
I tried a panoramic shot. It turned out a little funky. You can see some of the dings on my pretty walls. The room is now more than an inch smaller in width. I don’t know how that happened since we did not touch those walls. We just hired […]
Bathroom Update
When I lived with my Grandma, I really got used to hanging my clothes on the line. She has a sweet set up. Her laundry room opens onto a covered deck. On this covered deck she has her clothes line. It’s right there. I thought once I moved into the […]
Clothes Line
I still haven’t touched the elephants and the owl. I keep them on my scanner at work, hoping to figure out what to do next if I stare at them long enough. Today, I brought in the giraffes and hummingbird to show a consultant to the company. I sat […]
Painter’s Block
I hope you are ready for some more before and afters, cuz that’s what I’m all about. Thanks to Johnny this shower went from dingy yellowed white to bright white. It’s so pretty it hurts. Oh it just doesn’t stop, the pain from the pretty. After […]
Shower
I already had one cherry tomato from my plants, but this is the first time I’ve had a full on mini- harvest. I’m so excited. When I go home tonight, I’m going to make spaghetti using those three big beauties. I will add the cherry tomatoes to a salad at […]
Bounty
I have a couple of posts about the bathroom this week. This is what one wall of bathroom looked like: This is what it looks like now: Clearly, I picked the orange. We still need to sink in and spackle the finishing nails, add crown molding, baseboards, and some vertical […]
Bathroom
I’m going to show you the bedroom before it’s finished. Last weekend, I thought I would surely get the the bathroom all finished (except the floors.) Then I couldn’t find any hinges/handles for the cabinets. I messed up the counter top so I have to sand that. Okay, so the […]
I Fibbed
One thing that really worried me about the whole, living in an RV things, was dumping the black tank. I’ve heard horror stories and I knew this would be a make it or break it task. I watched youtube videos and read a few tips. Then I bought the clear […]
Dumping 101
I think this is going to be the last bedroom update until it is “finished.” I don’t know if I will replace the lights yet so it may not be finished for a few more months. Luckily, the rest of the bedroom may be finished in a week or two. […]
Bedroom Update
I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. Mine consisted of a few naps, more shopping, and lots of work. I picked up my mattress as well as a laptop. I returned the GPS I purchased in favor of an RV specific one. I know, I don’t really need […]
Holiday Weekend
The final purchase of the weekend and probably one of the most important of my RV living: The above, my friend, is a clear elbow for flushing the black water tank. It isn’t really necessary, but I have been told it makes the job a whole lot better. You […]
Final Purchase
I will take a break from sharing my spoils to show you the little progress that was made. The section to the right and the wall to the left were the last pieces in the bedroom. That’s right, the bedroom is completely walled in. Now to finish puttying/sanding. […]
