FINALLY! Hubby got the LoFlyte painted inside and I'm itching to decorate! Hung my first official decoration up and now I'm ready to go. I went thrifting for camper stuff and found some tin stars at Salvation Army for cheap. I repainted them with Army Green Rustoleum spray paint (I have a fascination with spray paint, always have ... hubby used to say "if it sits still for a minute, you'll probably paint it") and I think they look pretty cute.
I also snagged some cute Lincoln Beautyware canisters at the same thrift. Figured I could spray paint them green and use them to store non-food items. Well first thing was to get them clean so I stuck them in the dishwasher. Yikes! Apparently someone before me had the brilliant idea to spray paint them and the paint melted into clumps all over the originally harvest gold canisters. So I'm now scraping paint down to the aluminum in order to spray paint them. Worth the work? Probably not but they're cute and I'm persistent!
I also bought a stack of old Girl Scout calendars off eBay and plan to use them to decoupage the round train case I purchased for more storage.
Lastly, while still on a spray paint kick, I purchased some Rustoleum vinyl and upholstery paint (did you know they made that? I didn't!) and sprayed the 2 bench seats next to the bed and the bed guard for the bunk bed that we're going to use as a shelf. The vinyl was pretty faded and dingy and I went with the sand color (basic beige) which has really freshened them up. I love spray paint!
