Still Waiting

Well, I am still waiting to pick up my camper. It should be ready "probably" next Friday. I am anxious to get it back so that I can start working on it. I've been gathering helpful information and tips from folks who know more than me about these things, gathering supplies that I'll need, and gathering a lot more comments from people - some funny and some kind of not so funny.

I'm also putting together a notebook of inspirational pictures and ideas so that I can pull together a more specific idea of what I want the final product to look like. Since I can't do it all at once, I have to make sure what I do now won't be counterproductive for later.

Since I'm pretty sure the flooring will be replaced this year, due to my aversion to walking barefoot on somebody else's dirty, icky carpet, a major decision has to be made about the end decor. If I go with the fifties diner look (heavily favored because who doesn't like black and white flooring and red and chrome booths?) that is one floor choice that is easily made. It would also go great with a black, white and pink theme (think flamingos).

But I am also thinking that wood floors were very much standard issue in 1950's homes and it would be easy to come up with a decorating theme using that as well. Wood would also fit the retro cowgirl look that appeals to me. They do make very nice looking vinyl flooring that looks like wood. I just watched The Long, Long Trailer again and those floors are the black and white tile and the place was decorated like a house and not a diner, so I could do that as well.

Oh the choices! Stay tuned to see what pops up next.
