11-08 Avon Park for Coach Redecorating

After a week in Hanna Park, we moved further south to Avon Park, Florida to have the redecorating work done by "Coaches by Design". We stayed in the coach at night in the shop's parking lot. During the day we wondered around the area and went shopping for new items such as a table cloth, napkins, magazine baskets, etc. to match the new interior. On the weekends we moved to nearby Bonnet Lake RV Park, a nice location with very friendly residents. We especially appreciated being invited to their Thanksgiving celebration - what a feast!

We had the following changes made to our coach:
  • New Flooring - a lovely wood look laminate and new carpeting

  • New day/night shades. The original shades provide privacy at night but did not fully block the light. The new ones do so and provide better insulation since they are honeycombed and are lined with foil.
  • New cornice over the driver's and passenger's chairs

  • replaced the aluminum blinds in the kitchen with wooden blinds

In addition, Monique removed the wallpaper border in the bedroom and kitchen since they did not match the new colors. She also has finished the new bedspread she started in Lake Delton.

We are pleased with the "new look" and think we are about finished making changes to our home on wheels or, as our great niece calls it, our "car house".
