I just have to add....our T@b.... the 'Tbychc' plate name....(shabbychic) trailer that we've had so much fun decorating in the Mid Century......shabby chic.....theme, we've added curtains made from 40's Bark Cloth curtains...that I repurposed for the trailer. In keeping with our intiative of not 'changing' anything original....we've used Command Strips to attach a curtain rod. They are easily removed without destroying or changing anything original. We'll be at Ken's KOA Rally if you want to check out all our additions...ie. Pat Boone's original album cover framed....featuring "Stardust" along with all the mid-century applications we've made.
