Table Questions Solved

Well I decided to go forward with a piece of wood that I can paint for my table. Now my decisions are what type of wood to use and design. I'm planning my design now and can't wait to be able to get started. As soon as I get it done I will post pictures. I'm also working on some designs for my cabinet doors. Yikes!

Wood vs Veneer

I am looking at replacing the table in my SoCal Gal and I've been doing a lot of research. The table was originally a piece of plywood with laminate on top and metal siding. While looking into revitalized trailers I discovered a few people have replaced the table top with a piece of wood that they have painted and sealed. I started thinking that this might be a way to incorporate a table cloth without using cloth. I could paint the design onto the table top. However, I'm a little nervous that the sealer might make the table tacky to the touch and I certainly don't want that. I think it would be fine in the winter months, but what about those hot and muggy summers. I would be devastated to discover my hard work was ruined. If anyone has any thoughts on the topic I'd be happy to hear them. In the meantime, I guess I'll focus and flipping the axel so that it gives me a little more clearance on the bottom of my trailer. YIKES!

Okay so it has been awhile since I updated this blog. I have not made many improvements to my SoCal Gal, but the few I have made make it feel much more special. It makes it feel like it is finally my trailer and I'm not borrowing it from anyone else. Here are a couple of pics from "Before" and a few from "After", but these are not by any means the FINAL AFTER.
