It's all coming together!

With the bunks done, we needed to find mattresses to put on them. Since they are custom made, they are not a standard size.

The first plan was to buy foam and cover them with a slip-cover. I went to Jo-Anne Fabric to look for foam. The 1/2 inch foam was about $16 a yard... but who can sleep on 1/2 inch foam?? The good foam that was 4 - 5 inch thick was between $60 and $80 a yard!! I could NOT believe it! We would need about 2 1/2 yards per mattress.

OK... so we needed to come up with a better plan. Kent suggested that we look at lawn furniture cushions. We had to return table legs (more on that later) to Lowes, so we decided to check out the cushions. I found pillow-top chaise lounge cushions that were the perfect size! They were about 4 1/2 inches thick and were only $50 each. And the best thing about it??? I don't have to sew! YEA!! They are already covered and really comfortable.

Now, about the legs... The table in the motorhome needs help. It won't stay attached to the wall, and the one leg is crooked. We have been trying to figure out how to fix the leg and make it so it stays in place. I thought maybe we could add new legs (like banquet table legs) to the table. They had replacement legs at Lowes, so we decided to see if they would work. They were too wide and could not fit between the benches. So, the legs went back.

We came up with another plan for the table. I was at Staples today and found a small indoor-outdoor table. Because of a slanted area against the wall, we can't use the legs closest to the wall while it is in the motorhome. We are going to fix and re-use the hardware to attach the table to the wall. The table will be removable. The legs closest to the wall will be tucked up into the table when in the motorhome. Since there are two sets of legs, the table will be able to be used other places. Another good thing about the new table, is we can take it out and just have the benches (like couches).

I also found a little bitty cabinet at Staples. It should be perfect to go in the spot where the TV cabinet used to be. The more storage, the better!

So, everything in the motorhome is coming together. We will have a test run to Illinois for a family wedding next week. This weekend we will put the finishing touches on our projects. I will take photos and upload them soon!
