Recycled vintage linens

I love collecting old vintage linens and have an abundance of tablecloths. Since deciding to renew curtains in my vintage Aristocrat, I thought I would use tablecloths for the kitchen/dining areas. A few posts back I showed where I had recycled an old chenille bed cover into curtains for around my bed area in the trailer. I really like how everything has turned out. Just simple curtains with a much lighter look. What do you think?


I really did'nt have a pattern or much of an idea in mind. I just started cutting and measuring and came up with this. They are not as busy as the first set I had made for in here. I still have pillows to cover in another old chenille throw which I will toss on the bed. One can not have enough pillows for comfort.
I am so looking forward to taking her out. Our weather is beginning to finally hold steady in the high 70s and 80s. My first trip I would like to take her out and spend a weekend at the lake.
Just gotta start stocking her up with all the necessary essentials. Good thing I now have a truck to haul all the 'extra' stuff I'll need for a proper glamping trip. I'll let you know when she's ready. Would love the company.

My heart sunk when the picture of your vintage trailer came up. I made a very dumb, dumb move about 7 years ago. I sold my 1966 Aristocrat Low liner. What was I thinking? Of course now I can't find a good vintage to replace it with. Seven years and still kicking myself. I do have another trailer but it's only 20 years old so it's a newbie. I have faith that the right one will come my way, if only I have patience! So I would love to see more pictures!
