He he... well, I tried to wash the front RV curtains that cover the windshield. They had a rubber backing to block out light and helped to keep the inside of the RV cooler in the hot sun, besides providing privacy at night. "Had" being the operative word, there... they came out of the washer (on delicate, cold water, Woolite) looking like they had some horrible skin disease - rubber backing peeled off in great holey patches, other parts sticking together like the convolutions of a brain... it wasn't pretty.
So we are getting new curtains! Yay! The old ones were water stained and beige and smelled of cigarettes, so I'm not exactly heartbroken. AND, the nice people at J&L RV Repair told us about Dan-Mar Drapes in Monrovia, who will custom make curtains for us in ANY color or fabric we want! And much cheaper than the ones through Camping World, especially if we use remnant fabrics.
Now I just have to pick.
What goes with denim, paisley, peace signs, flowers and prayer flags?
Okay, I'm exaggerating quite a bit - the MoHo still looks pretty conventional, but if I had my way, we'd be leaving a trail of incense instead of exhaust as we waddle down the road! Ha. (Sort of kidding.) I DO have a denim slipcover for the couch - it remains to be seen if it will fit. We pick it up from J&L RV Repair tomorrow. And we will work on it this weekend, doing some more cleaning, etc. Maybe then I'll be able to choose a color for the front drapes!!
How fun!
