Some More Work for The 1969 Mobile Home

This is my project. It has been working on for about two years now. I bought this Mobile to renovate. 
Thought I should add a note after looking at the pictures. That glass thing leaning against the wall is the shower doors that haven't quite made it to the bathroom. The lamps I sort of invented. It is an old lamp like the one on the right set into macrame. The one on the table is also quite old and the shade is an actual coal oil lampshade. It has a chip out of it and on the original lamp you can see it so I put the chipped shade  on the electric lamp and bought a lightbulb from The County Cottage for $10.00. It looks like a flame and the casing covers the chip.  The real coal oil lamps are in the corner behind the bright light so cannot be seen in this picture. I and my sons removed all old carpet and sanded and painted the floor yellow it shows the original grain.
                                                         The table is from an Estate Sale
This is an actual Alphie. In the old show he was an alien and he talked and  ate cats.
I got him at a yard sale for $5.00. I just like him.
 There are lot of family pictures and old knick knacks over windows. 
The rails over the windows are quite neat, purchased at a flea market 

The teapot and tray and the cream and sugar have a similar story.
Yard sales and Thrift Store. 
The bag is a recycle from Walmart. Made from a plastic bottle.
The other box is full of left over plumbing stuff as old mobiles need the plumbing replaced.
The box hasn't made it to the shed yet. 
Maybe I will redo the pictures tomorrow but tonight the place looks lived in.



Fireplace is decked out for Hallowe'en complete with a witch and spider.
In the far corner is a stack of Christmas stuff waiting to come out. 

The piece at the end is worm wood. I had a whole set in 1970 and liked it. I bought this one piece at the Heritage Market that is now closed.  Love to find more of it. The plants are in from outside. The strawberries are blooming.

 The end table is from the 50's.A yard sale find. The fireplace is a modern piece. Works with canned heat. Actually warms the room in an hour.
