It's sort of like the warehouse all over, being able to be creative with the space I live in is so important to me, and it's been FAR too long since I was in a place I felt like I could do that. Even in the place in Seattle, I was never in love with it enough and I never felt like it was a long-term home... it was simply an ugly house I had to stay in long enough to make a little profit on the investment rather than losing money on it. This home in Sebastopol is different, I already have many ideas of improvements I'd like to do once we know it will be ours, and with the trailer I can do all the "quirky" things I have been suppressing since I left Oakmot. God how I have missed my glamorous four poster bed with the rich and royal fabrics and exotic details. How perfect that will look in my little gypsy caravan!
I really won't need a kitchenette, since I have the fabulous kitchen in the house just about the way I want it, so I'll probably remove that and save it in the barn, just in case. That will leave a lot more space for actual living area. I plan to have a fabulous bed behind a dark heavy curtain, a sofa--probably this one, only in a dark blue/purple since I already own it:
this sewing table, but I will recover the bench with something more dark and fabulous:
,and an antique style sink vanity, whatever I can find cheap enough.
Hopefully something like this but more beat up and gypsyesque:
I am so excited to begin making cushions and curtains for this little hide-away! I am also going to do the floors in wood laminate and hopefully find an old wardrobe or tall chest of drawers for my clothes and other personal stuff. Not sure about the computer, I think I'll leave it in the house and just have my laptop out there. A computer really doesn't fit my gypsy theme. Likewise a TV, I'm pretty sure I will NOT be bringing a TV out there.
This is going to be so great, I can hardly wait to get started! I have been in limbo for far too long. I'm off to browse CL for trailers and furniture items, just for fun. I like to watch. Oh and tomorrow I get to go see that Spartanette trailer in person! I'll bring my camera.
