Prep, prime, & paint.

*

How can such a tiny trailer have so many cabinet doors and drawers? So many bits of window gear and knobs and pulls and crap that has to be unscrewed and taken off before you can sand and prep and prime and paint? 

We figured out that painting inside a trailer is just as hard as painting a giant house, but with all the easy parts left out. No big expanses of walls or ceilings. Everything is cutting in and brush work and cramped and awkward.

So, here's the blue! 

Shield your eyes!

You may find this shocking, but we have a high tolerance for bold color.

Just waiting for doors and seat cushions and the table and new flooring and a new refer door and and and.....

The Woman on The Verge spent every waking hours for two weeks painting and stenciling like a man possessed. Or a woman. Maybe both.

She's a damn good worker.

The galley got new aluminum trim around the edges of the countertop.

And a new backsplash! We love how this turned out. It echoes the pattern of the stencil we used on the walls perfectly, and it just looks so neat and well-finished.

It really ties the room together, dude.

*

*

That stenciling looks bad-ass, right?

Hell yes it does.

*

*

The new floor is in. Took maybe an hour? Looks like a million bucks to me, and it feels great underfoot. Peel and stick vinyl planks. No muss, no fuss, lovely floor.

The Woman on The Verge applying the first of several attempts at a border to separate the top stenciled portion of the walls from the plain lower half. The painting is on the door of the refrigerator. Gettin' that Indian vibe yet?

Can you say "Sweet Lime?"

I bet you can.

Namaste.
