Cottage Trailer


This is the little cottage trailer that we have in our front yard.    She went with us many times on the  Longest yard sale  and antiquing in New York...Pennsylvania, Missouri.....all over the place!     We retired her several years ago and turned her into a cottage.
We decided to freshen her up a bit this spring.....

A wooden fireplace screen covers her wheel.....

I changed the color scheme up a little this year.   The door was changed from pink to green with a hint of pink.    H reinvented the black bench that was originally there.   There is a photo of the old bench further down in this post.

We replaced the two black lounge chairs with a reinvented wingback chair.

I have a child's drop leaf table set for Kyleigh's lunch.   I have her lunch packed in a vintage lunch pail.  

H gave the little table a fresh look with some paint.
Looks like we need to freshen up the buggy's paint too....lol!

H added a frame to the existing window.....see the before in the photo below.....

The frame he put around the old window once held a pretty mirror that sadly got broken.

The mailbox got a fresh coat of paint and I took off the blackboard and replaced it with a pretty mirror.

Here is the after.....and below is the before.....

You can hardly tell that this was the original bench!    Our daughter has the Duck pond in her backyard now with some gold fish in it.

I found a cute owl mailbox cover .....Amazon.

I love the new look!
