After a few weeks' hiatus, I got busy again yesterday. I built a baker's rack out of white-covered floral wire for the bathroom and loaded it with towels. Can't have too many towels on a house boat, eh? Also added a toy to the hallway and a mirrored shelf, and put a towel on the sail maker's bench in the bathroom. I'm going for a lived-in look.

I added a stained balsa window sill to the bay window in the parlor, then I turned to the parlor curtains. I made them from paper I got at Big!Lots and a bit of lace glued to a piece of strip wood. (I see some tacky wax peeking out. The camera doesn't lie ...

I hung a couple of paintings on the parlor wall. I really don't like the red, red of the mahogany furniture in here. The room is way too dark, even with the lights on. Do I want to rework the furniture? Maybe. How? I dunno. Ideas welcome!

Then I got a bit crafty. Poured some resin into the little aquarium I got at the estate sale a few weeks ago and made a stand for it. It's going into the boy's room. And got out the toaster oven and the Sculpey and made a half dozen life rings. They'll be painted like the model and will hang on the railings.

There are fewer and fewer details to add, thank goodness! The to-do list includes some wooden folding deck chairs, fishing equipment, life preservers and boxes to store them in, silverware for the kitchen table, and the elusive Margarita pitcher and glasses for the upper deck cabana table.
