LOVE! I've wanted a retro 50's or 60's trailer for ages. Although, I much prefer the old school ones with all their original bits intact. But, beautiful job fixing this one up from what looked liked a real mess! Wonderful!

Beautiful! Artsy! Creative! LOVE it! These are the most interesting & fun homes on AT; the ones that look lived-in & loved, NOT designed! Thank you! :)

I love everything about this, ESPECIALLY the recycling. I'm so inspired. Some day, when I've saved many pennies, I'll do this in my kitchen! LOVE shopping at the Restore. :)

LOVE! Why 'should' we ever grow up & be without colour & whimsy?

LOL I was confused by the 'quilt' title... It's so not a quilt. But, it IS gorgeous! Well done! :)

WOW! LOVE! It's all been said... But my fave AT tours are the ones that showcase the owner's personality & this would have to be at the top of that list. Dixie, thanks for showing us how to go for what we love without worrying what anyone else thinks! :) Wonderful!

I just checked out the tutorial for crochet rugs at Noble Knits & I'm DEFINITELY going to try knitting a rug with all the fabric scraps & old sheets I have! Fabulous idea!!

OMG, I still have mine too. I got it in the mid '80s. It's yellowing now but it still works! :) I hit the snooze button once. Perfect!

Until my late 20's I held onto every magazine I'd ever bought. Finally I decluttered and tossed them all.

In the last couple years I've started ripping out pages I like & recycling the rest of the magazine. And I journal, so I go through my files of pages as I get to a blank page and paste in pictures that speak to me that day. My journal is approx 8 1/2 x 11 with unlined pages. I find it much more fun than lined pages filled with only words. :) So, I really appreciate those who donate their old magazines. They give me lots of pictures for not much cash!!

Wow! Beautifull! This is definitely my very fave tour. So lovely to see a home reflecting the personalities of the family who lives in it rather than a space where the home owners were able to just spend the money to have someone else decorate for them. I love the globe lamp and the lamp over the table in the dining room. Very inspiring for someone else who is also decorating one room at a time with mostly found and thrifted stuff! LOVE! Thanks for sharing your home and adding your comments to the pics!!

Beautiful room!

But, I'm surprised with the awareness everyone seems to have about SIDS that you are showing a crib with bumper pads. Bumper pads may be a contributing factor to SIDS. This is a Canadian link, but I'm sure you can find the same info from American health websites. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/legislation/pol/bumper-bordure-eng.php
