Redecorating.....

When we went shopping for our new trailer we had a check list.....

* separate bedroom for the little one

* proper bedroom doors (for privacy dontcha know)

* patio doors

* bigger master bedroom

* nice kitchen table and chairs.

Well we found a trailer that checked off everything except the table and chairs.  Compromise .......... we bought the trailer with the traditional 'banquette' seating.

Now 2 years into the new trailer my heart was still longing for a proper kitchen table and chairs - ones you can slide back to get in and out... instead of having to bum hop across a bench seat.

A couple of weeks ago Sir Steve said he could rip out the old banquet and we could buy a proper table and chairs - a small set BUT still a proper table and chairs.  UGH! during a pandemic - stores closed - shopping for furniture - sometimes I think we are hopeless optimists!!  We measured the space - and measured again... we went online and started 'shopping'.  Finally we found a cute lil table with 4 chairs....... and placed the order.  The one funny thing was at no time did they ask for an apartment number or delivery instructions.... even when they called Sir Steve to announce delivery!  (it was a voice recording saying 'delivery will be between 11 and 2')

Yesterday the furniture was delivered.  The poor delivery guys nearly had a seizure when they realized the address was to a campground!!  By the time they found us - tucked way in the back of the park - they were getting good at manoeuvring their huge truck down narrow gravel roads.

When Sir Steve got home from work (god love him!) he rolled up his sleeves and proceeded to pull the old banquette out.  The lil one was right in there with him helping - picking up screws and nails from the floor.

It took him forever to get it dismantled and out...... and the new set in.... (I think it was 8:30 by the time the work was done - mind you we had a quick supper squeezed in )

BUT OMG!  it was so worth it!!  we all LOVE the new set - no more bum hopping along the bench - AND closing the blinds at night no longer involved crawling into the set!!

Life is good when ' a plan comes together'.
