Teal's New Upholstery

Nancy requested a peek at the upholstery. Here it is.

This is my V-Berth with my shoestrings hanging out the bilge opening. That's storage underneath where we keep clothes that are bagged.

Along the sides are hammocks which hold miscellaneous items. As you can see, we utilize every available space we find.

Forward in the "V", looks like a TV screen, right? Well that's the glass front of the anchor chain locker. Where the picture cuts off at the top is the shelf where I keep all my personal stuff, kinda like a dresser top.


This is our "open air" clothes rack. (Notice the awesome hangers crocheted by our neighbor Enid.) Clothes don't slip off these hangers. The rod is on the right side of the V-Berth. George designed the cushion under the "closet" to be thinner, thus allowing more space under the hanging clothes for misc items to be stashed.

This has made it a much more usable area and a definitely more comfy bed.

This is the dinette cushion and back rest over the pantry. This is the cushion where George lays his weary head at the end of the day. Notice the panbel on the wall. Those are switches - navigation on one side (GPS, depth meter, tiller pilot, C-Power), and the boat interior stuff on the other (gas, water, frig, etc).


He designed the back cushion to be permanent, which works out well since the bulk head is perfectly straight up and down, and the loose cushion was alway falling forward.

Not sure what the name of the fabric is we chose, a sea blue something or other I think. It really looks great in here.

I wish I could have gotten a picture of the other cushion which is over the frig/freezer, but George was always in it when I was ready with the camera.

The canvas is almost finished. Pictures of that to follow. We are very excited about our new look.
