The 1960s Serro Scotty Sportsman arrived in our driveway surreptitiously this afternoon after I begged for it at the Flower, Lawn & Garden Show back in February. (See post here.) Back then, I was in love and Mike was questioning my judgment. Today, he had the wide-eyed look that recognizes possibility and a grin that said: "We can do this."
Inside, it boasts only the most luxurious amenities: seating/bed with a pull-out option, dining room table, fridge, hole for grill and electricity (if we hook it up), and it's appropriately complemented by a gray striped carpet on all surfaces and turquoise cabinets. Sure, its decaying wood, busted glass, musty odor and mouse houses aren't for everyone, but it's OURS.
We'll take it apart piece by piece and restore it to be an unrecognizablely sweet Scotty. We're thinking light wood paneling, modern light fixtures and maybe we'll keep those painted cabinets.
We envision it as a cabin at the back of the property or near the garage as a party trailer, but possibly it could be road-ready as the Gekas family travel wagon. Whatever it will be, it will be a fine addition to DesignFarm.
