As the structure of our ’59 Pathfinder Camper Trailer is being renovated and rejuvenated, I've been playing with a favorite app: Pic-Collage.
I use Pic-Collage quite often when planning interior designs and decor. Here are a few examples:
This decorating design was created for a volunteer appreciation dinner we were hosting for a nonprofit farm park where I volunteer.
Here's how the design plan played out!
Here's a collage board I created to convince my husband to buy our vintage camper trailer.
And this is the one I created that sealed the deal!
I use Pic-Collage to create design and mood boards. I collect images of everything I need to turn the design vision in my head into a single picture. The collages are wonderful for communicating ideas to others.
Pic-Collage allowed me to create a rendering of the bespoke shelving unit I wanted for the '59.
After seeing my rendering, Rick, the gentleman doing the renovation work, was able to build the unit!
The chosen aesthetic for our '59 Pathfinder is not to restore it to its original state.
Rather, it is to fill it with all the pieces I LOVE!
It's essentially a love letter to the art of thrifting! Vintage picnic baskets, thrift store linens, market crates, handmade curtains from vintage print fabric, funky art, and a carpet remnant quilt floor!
This is my design board for the overall scheme.
This rendering of a hat rack I'm making from croquette mallets will let me get a clear picture of what it will look like in the camper, so I can virtually "try it on."
Using Pic Collage to create design plans for the '59 Pathfinder has kept me entertained all winter while I wait patiently to get my hands on her and bring my ideas to fruition!
