We had a very wide seam to cover on these arched curves at the rear of the trailer. (over 2 inches) We tried white duct tape, looked at white flexible garage weatherstripping, you name it. Nothing jived. Then at our trip to hobby lobby, my husband said, "Hey, how about we...." - and I knew what he was going to say. I had thought of florals too, but didn't want him to think I was wacko. We are totally in love with it. Now we have our birds of paradise, tropical leaves and flowers, and the seams are hidden....shhhhhh! I feel like I'm in Kauai again!!
It's coming together, It's coming together!! I painted the yucky countertop with three coats of my beloved Clark & Kensington paint (same as wall color) from Ace Hardware. Coated it with 3 coats of non-yellowing polycrylic from Minwax. Added a hibiscus stencil for a little Hawaiian Flavor!! I absolutely love my retro radio - the color matches perfectly - it was stored in the attic forever. We were excited to find the doorknob on Ebay (ours was missing, of course). I have finished the Hawaiian curtains (hung with dowel rods and white cuphooks - SUPER-CHEAP!!) Thanks, mom, for letting me take this banged up lantern from the attic. It had to be teal, of course!!!!
