During our Transformation

Isnt this colour AMAZING?!
Funny story, they apparently dont MIX rust paint, you can only buy the colours they have, So, I did what ANYONE who wants pink would do, I bought a RED, and a WHITE, and mixed them in a pail, had NO idea what shade of pink I was going to get, but, I didnt care! I just wanted pink!

I dont think I could have gotten a better colour, The buses name is Peppi, like, Pepto Bismol ;)



Front, this is possibly my fave pic of the bus, like, EVER! :D
Other side of the bus,

Pictures of the Before

This is a before shot of the bus... its pretty dirty and ugly, right?! :)

This is our dining room table, and, also, my bed, :D It folds down into a bed,

This is our kitchen, it hasnt had any work done to do it yet, Dad will be making me new fronts for the cupboards, and, I hope to do SOMETHING to make this look nicer other than just curtains and paint... that stove is ugly, but, $$$ :(

Kids beds.. Eve is over at the left side, Ryder the end, and Ethan the bigger bed.. they will be getting their "mattresses" recovered, by me, when I figure out my sewing machine! LOL

Project Pink Bus-The Beginning.

Project Pink Bus, is something I started a couple years ago, I'll explain it all now, and why I got started on this project, and how it actually ended up being something exciting for me to do! :D

My Grandparents own a couple properties upnorth, in Noelville/St. Charles area---thats near North Bay :D I used to get to sleep in the cottage that had electricity, and running water because I had young kids, it was easier if they werent sleeping, needed to be changed etc at night, which, was a bonus, cause I dont do well roughin' it... Im terrified of mice, and bugs, and I dont go outside to pee, it just aint my thing...

Well, My Grandma died suddently on April 28th, 2009, and when we went upnorth that year, things had changed.. alot. I no longer got to sleep in the cottage, it was taken over, and I was told to sleep in the Bus. it was a dirty, probably mouse infested, and bug infested (certainly mouse poop covered anyways!) dirty old thing. I refused.. absolutely refused, MAYBE I was a bitc..... I mean, difficult to get along with, MAYBE I could/should have been nicer, but, I wasnt.
My parents ended up sleeping in the dirty old bus with my kids, I slept in Damians truck, with the seats down, continually starting the truck to warm it up.. Damian hated me that weekend.. but, he stayed in the truck also. I didnt force him to.

The next day, I was told I canclean/fix up the bus to make it more suitable for us.. So, thats where we're at!

Summer 2010, She got a paint job! :D She looks wonderful! I cleaned alot, bought a portable toilet, ripped up old flooring, and, left for the year, intending to return in 2011 to work on it more.
2011 was a rough year, Damian and I broke up, and, I DO have my licence, but I have a crappy car, didnt want to break down up there, or on my way up there, and I didnt want to be alone with all the kids up in bear land, so, I didnt go other than the regular family Thanksgiving weekend, so, I didnt get any work done.

I am hoping to get some work done on the bus this year, I bought a sewing machine, and once I figure out how to use it, I will be making curtains! LOL
