Project: Larry the Boler Before
Larry the Boler before – here are all of the before and a few progression photos of our work on this blue beauty. My dad is a huge Detroit Lions fan (man, can then win one soon, please!) and this little gem reminds me of the Lions so much. We got him last year on a northernly drive about 6 hours north of us. It was such an awesome road trip. This is Larry. Sure – he looks pretty decent, until you look closer and…

Project: How to Fiberglass a Boler
What? I know – it’s a odd topic found here on 3ten.ca, but it has a purpose. Most of you know Bryce and I fix up old Boler trailers and send them off into the world with happy new owners. Thus far we’ve done 4 and we’ve kept Tipsy, which makes 5. On Instagram we’ve been asked more than a handful of times about fiberglass. So, this post is for those who are looking for a bit of direction. Know that we’re total DIYers –…

Project: Minnie the Boler After
She’s all done – here is Minnie the Boler after her renovation. This 1971 Boler is a true piece of Canadian history – and now she’s at home in California. Yes, in Cali. Minnie the Boler After I love how these adorable vintage hubcaps just pull the whole look together. Also, I love how she doesn’t have a huge vent for the fridge or for the furnace – keeps this side looking clean. The white LED license plate light – it’s all in the details.…

Project: Benny the Boler Before
Benny the Boler Meet Benny the Boler before his makeover. We picked up this 1974 Boler last August in Calgary. It was so bad we needed to tow it home on a flatbed. Thankfully we own one. From a cracked frame, to a wonky closet and even original cushions you’ll be impressed how great Benny looks after. Take a peek through all of these before pictures and then visit again on Saturday to check out the after. It’ll be so fun! These curtains are yucky.…

Project: Tipsy the Boler
Tipsy the Boler is finding her small little space in the wide open internet. As I’m sure many of you know we’ve been running a Tumblr page for all things Boler for a little over 3 years. Well, now we’re branching out. In January we opened an Instagram account for Tipsy as a way to share content, help other Boler lovers with their projects, and to engage the community. Now, today actually, we just started to share on a dedicated Facebook page to Tipsy. So…

Project: Mirror Barn Door
Remember back in June of 2013 when we built a barn door for our guest room closet? It’s awesome. Not only did we save a lot of money, we saved space and created a unique statement piece in the room. Well, we’ve decided to update that look and turn the barn door into a mirror barn door and give our guest room some much needed light. The first step, finding a mirror big enough! Let’s get started! Mirror Barn Door Where did we find a…

Project: DIY Headboard
It’s project time – DIY headboard time, to be exact. You can see from the photo below that I’m a little behind in sharing this project since it’s not all green outside. Nope, we have snow no grass right now. This project started this past summer. We knew we wanted a headboard in our second guest room, yet we didn’t really like the idea of paying $800 for one. In browsing a few sites I came across an article from Apartment Therapy – Best Upholstered…
