Cathy's Door

Cathy's rig has a much more homey feel to it than mine. She certainly knows how to make a trailer a home. All the little touches. The pillows that match just right. The little light on the dining table. The magazine rack. The pepper lights that border the kitchen area. She keeps Rose's toy in a spot where it isn't seen and where Rose can get it whenever she wants to. She grows herbs and tomatoes. The housekeeping is immaculate. The bar is much higher than than my expectations. I definitely remove my shoes before I enter.

Oregano on the left and cherry tomatoes.

On the outside of her door, there is a map of the United States. You've seen them before. It has the states colored in when you visit that state. It was there when she bought her trailer. It is actually a cover for a blemish the original owners accidentally put in the door. It looked like something banged into it and made a hole. The hole was filled and this map was put over it to cover it up. Now the map is peeling and looking ugly.

A new door decoration

It's time to do something about that map. When we were in downtown Winslow this weekend, we visited one of those touristy Route 66 souvenir shops. Cathy found this neat large Route 66 medallion type wall decoration and thought it would be perfect to replace the map with. After a little elbow grease and some industrial Velcro, viola! She has a great looking door.

Now I promised to take the latch off of her door and get it to work a little smoother. You know how it is when you change something. Once you start then there is always something else you want to improve. We will keep our eye out for a stained glass window to replace the opaque window that is there now. Any suggestions?
