Progress Today! - Gotta love it when a plan comes together!


 LIGHTS

LED lights installed! There are 24 LEDs in these bad boys. 
This Boler is going to light up like a flying saucer!

COOKIN WITH GAS!

I youtubed how to flare soft copper line....
I don't know why people record stuff like that but they are totally my people!
Had to uninstall the old Coleman and cut and re-flare the gas lines. It's working and there were no trips to the hospital ;)

 STAYIN' PUT

NEW Latches! http://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/
 Now I can drive around without all the cupboards flying open....maybe?
Still wish these were SILVER, but I was lucky to fine ones that fit exactly.
UM I LOVE antique brass =)

CHARGE THOSE GADGETS!

Added a 12V power socket for the iPad
At this point you may be asking....Did you install the converter? Do these lovely lights and iPad charge station HAVE power????

UM NO - Thinking I need to sort out my window situation before I go to town on the converter.
Still seem to be leaking from time to time ;)

New Cushions & Curtains

So much has happened since my last post....New cushion covers & Curtains!!!

This is really going to make the Boler look nice!

Talk about a total makeover!!

Many thanks to my sister (who was on vacation when she helped me with these) & my mom!
I'm talking late nights folks =) We did make a patterns so my sister is willing and able to create more of these amazing interiors. She is a driven sewing PRO! Check her out on Flickr

I assisted with all the prep work. I even learned how to sew a set of curtains. Thanks Mom! 

We made 70 yards of piping for this project!




Lucky my sister knew how to fast track this piping business. That's a Tupperware canister that we were using as a spool =)

AND NOW THE FINISHED PRODUCT

Reversible Baby! Notice how those stripes line up! My sister planned that out - not an easy task on a project this size.

Look 3

The "couch" for the boler. The upper bunk is the only part that isn't desinged to be reversible (because it gets bolted to the wall ;)
 
Check out these curtains!
I have two complete sets to suite whatever Boler mood I'm in =)
Thanks Mom!
When you hang them up the patterns even match up in the middle. These women know how to sew!


Special thanks to Christine McClellan and Patti Deal!! You made my Boler the cool kid on the block!!
