Painting The Outside of The Vintage Santa Fe Trailer/ Before & After Pics!

Goodness! It's been a week since we've written...shame on us! Here's what we've been doin'. Paintin', Paintin' and more paintin'! The Sante Fe got a new windows and a coat of paint this week. Yeah, she's been a busy gal...we've been pamperin' her for her big debut at our "Junk Salvation" Market in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. It's only one month away! Junk Sistas, have you made your plans with your favorite gal pals to attend? We expect all you Farm Chicks to be there since it's in your back yard. CDA, Idaho is just a short 30 minute drive from Spokane, WA. It's already been a month since the Farm Chicks Show so we're guessin' you are just about ready for another one!

Anyways...back to the Santa Fe...here she is on the day we brought her home. She's lookin' pretty tattered with the broken windows. The Funky Junk Fam thought we were nuts, but it wouldn't be the first time! Tee hee!

Here's her back end before.Her front door before...the bondo looks horrid.Next is a picture of the first stages of painting.The cool Santa Fe emblem.Then....whaaaalaaaaa! Some pics of her sporting her new diggs!What a transformation! The door looks spectacular. Wouldn't you agree?Here she is from the front. The aqua stripe suits her well. Her appliances inside are aqua too. We'll have more pics of the inside soon. Gotta get back to work...we're fixin' up this trailer and another one, plus we're collecting tons of vintage stuff for the next show August 6th. We had better get our junkin' booties in gear! Wait til you see the vendors we have lined up for the CDA show...we'll announce them soon. They are awesome!

  9. I have to say, not only am I diggin' the new trailor and the awesome job you are doing painting and restoring her (can't wait to see the inside, turquoise appliances to die for!) but I also am loving this new blog template design! Really great! Y'all are just amazing with everything you do. If you ever bottle all that energy, send me a couple of gallons, will ya? Smoochies, ~Leena~
