Help me decide which color! I'm sending off my stove door and top off to Mattera Stove Works here soon and trying to decide which color. I'm of course a big fan of aqua. Although the red is nice too. I lean towards the aqua only because if I ever change the exterior color of my Shasta Compact it would be from yellow to aqua. What do you all think? Currently my … [Read more...]

World’s Smallest Vintage Trailer Movie Theater
October 7, 2011 by · 3 Comments
I love all things cute and if they are small and cute that's even better on the cute-o-meter in my book. So why not a very small movie theater on wheels?

They spared no details when creating this mobile movie theater. It has … [Read more...]
