Gypsy Wagon Progress - Color Scheme

I started running the electrical wiring inside the gypsy wagon today. The lighting will be 12 volt and there will be several 110 AC outlets when we can hook up to house power. I also started taking apart the stove I picked up. The stove, as it is, is a bit too tall. I figure I can cut the broiler part of it off and make the whole thing about 8 inches shorter. That ought to work.

I then took a little time to mess around on the computer to come up with an exterior color scheme we like. It's great to be able to manipulate color on the computer for this. What I started with in my minds eye was quite different than what we ended up with. Nita and I both consulted on the colors as I changed the color of each of the different elements until we found what we liked. With this info I will go to the paint store and try to find paint chips that match what we chose and have it mixed up for us.

On those colors, you don't have to look for chips that match the colors you've picked. You can have your colors scanned and then get paint mixed to match them. Any paint store should be able to do it.; August 26, 2010 at 4:20 PM

The Zone

This blog chronicles our adventures into activities and places that are beyond the pale of the mainstream Western world of shopping malls, corporate jobs, tract homes, and broadcast television. It's an exploration of the edges of art, creativity and community.

The title, Adventures in the Zone, grew out of the concept of the Zone Trip. A Zone Trip is a foray into the unknown or, at least, the unusual. A Zone can happen anywhere. It's more a state of mind than anything else. It's a way to experience the world with new eyes and with an expectation of magic and mystery.
