Gathering

 

Most of what we've been working on the past week is gathering needed items for the skoolie.  This pic is my favorite from the week, an antique secretary desk I found on Facebook Marketplace, which fits perfectly in the kitchen, next to the refrigerator.  We wanted something open at the bottom, as spots to put a dog bed are hard to come by, so this accomplishes that.  We plan to put our Berkey water filter on the top shelf, which will be secured in some manner.  The front piece which pulls down will allow another prep surface when needed, and is just the right size to not block the walkway when down.  There is very little counter space, so more prep space will be most welcome.  The cubbies and drawers will be useful too.

Though not a great pic, I found faceted glass knobs for the majority of the cabinets.  I love the thought of them throwing rainbows around the bus.  I'm thinking of a sea glass knob(s) for the bathroom.  We're still figuring out what we need in there.

Joseph found an antique Sears & Roebuck medicine cabinet for our bathroom.  Again, not the best photos.  He refinished the wood, which is a lovely walnut, and I found vintage glass shades on ebay, as the original shades were plastic and cracked.  He placed it in the bathroom, and connected power to it.  He also worked on wiring for the unit that does GPS, backup camera, music, etc., so that's done now.  All these small steps will eventually get us there!
