Makeover

It's been a while since I've posted.  And my last post was pretty much of a downer.

So here is a something more uplifting.  It's not about Niko, but rather my other baby, the other baby whom I also love dearly.  With my not-so-little-anymore Mila growing up so fast, a woman's got to hang onto her babies.  Luckily for me, Niko and Wolfie will forever be my babies.

Little Wolfie has received an ultimate makeover… er more like a facelift.

So this is what he looked like before…

He was a 1978 "Champagne" Limited Edition.

And this is Wolfie now!

Crazy change right?!

We spent many sleepless nights, laboring over the colour decision.  We went through just about every VW colour.  

These were our first choices in colours.  Kiril wanted Chrome Yellow and I wanted Seafoam Blue.   Both of our second choices was BMW Liquid Blue (not even a VW colour!) … and so sealed Wolfie's fate.

We're a little nuts to go with a metallic, but it really shows off the sexy curves.  

We took him camping right away, straight out of the body shop.

Niko slept in the top bunk, looking cozy as a warm baguette.  

I have inherited Niko's fascination with the rays of light.

And Mila has inherited my love for climbing trees.  

Pizza stop on our way home.  We had the best table!

So the next item on our list: Brand new beds and upholstery.  We have already ordered the foam and the fabric.  I will try my hand at upholstery work.  I will attempt to make covers for the bottom Z-bed and the top bunk.  I'm going to take a trip to one of my favourite places (the hardware store!), and buy me a staple gun to nail the suckers into the frame.  Wish me luck.
