we have a confession: it involves rhinestones. and curtains. and a mexican batea. and a cowboy…
NoW that MiRANdA has seen her 1953 FLyING CLouD AiRSTreAM transformed into a CoSMIC COwGiRL SaLoon on WhEELS…we’re just itchin’ to show y’all all the inside details!
and to refresh your memory…here’s the before shot…
so here’s the confession…and you gotta keep this on the down-low……
we…..used….a….bedazzler. there, i said it! and by gosh darn, i’m not ashamed to admit it. because you know why?! because nothin’ says CoSMIC COwGIRL like a blingin’, bull-ridin’, bedazzled RHinESTONE COwBOY! yee-hawww!
in hindsight, amie learned it would have been waaaaay easier to bedazzle this baby BEFORE we actually PERMANENTLY adhered his bull-ridin booty to the wall (darn you, gravity!)…buuut who ever said we like to take easy street?
OriGiNALLY framed and mounted on a copper plaque, we popped off the frame, unscrewed the cowboy from the plaque and used a little SupER-duty-ULtRA-strength double stick tape to mount it on the wall. SpRinKLE in a few Swarovski crystals and voila! a RHiNESTONE CoWBOY!
and here’s a wider angle of the RhiNESTONe CoWBOY wall…
we spotted the GoLD stallion clock at MyLISSA’s in WARRENTON and knew it was a perfect addition to our retro cowboy wall. There was no hope (or time) for fixin the clock, so we did what any good GypSY would do…set the hands to 5 o’clock, cut the electrical cord, and permanently adhered that bad boy to the wall! we completed the mini-vignette with a GoLD stained PINK spitoon sign, an authentically plastic chandelier, and of course 5000 electrical outlets…
we liked it so much, amie went a little rhinestone crAZY….
a mexican batea…
the homemade curtains were easy prey on our quest to rhinestone the universe…
tons more to tell…y’all stick around!
“I’ve been walkin these streets so long, singin the same old song.
i know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of BroADwAY, where hustle’s the name of the game
and nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain. there’s been a load of compromisin’
on the road to my horizon…BuT i’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me.” ~RhinESTONE CowBOY, GleN CaMpBELL

You ladies do show off Gypsy FINE-ness! It doesn’t get better than this! You did a fabulous job with Miranda’s airstream and even the bedazzle is Over the Top! Great work! It’ll shine when it shines! Ever hear of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils out of Missouri? They are still around but were red hot when you girls were young ones. Ask Papa and Mom about them.”It’ll Shine when it Shine’s ” was one of their biggest albums, yes a real record!
Consider the airstream a FINE JOB done Well! Thanks for showing us more pictures, now how did you get that sofa in the door?
I love it,
Smiles, Cyndi/frstyfrolk
You crack me up! Now I have that song stuck in my head!
The trailer is soooo awesome, I’m glad I got to peek inside.
happy trails…

“Sometimes I wish I lived in an Airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy”
