Quilts. His and her quilts. Mine is on top of the bed.

A picture of his before it was quilted (on our bedroom bed but here just for display).

Reading Lights. Scott moved the lights from where they were originally: under the cabinets. Had we left them there, I would have had a reading light, and my foot would have had a reading light. Scott would have had nothing.

They were there because that's where they make sense on a 19' Vintage Cruiser; they make zero sense in our 17'. In the 19', the bed is turned so that the head is under the cabinets, and the lights are over the sleepers' heads. It's just SO LAZY and LOWDOWN that Gulf Stream didn't put the lights under the head of the 17'. Geez, how hard would it be?

​Scott's fix is one of the most needed and satisfying of all his fixes. The shelf he added is super useful, too (later he added another above this one. We use them both.)

Original light location!

Other Improvements. Shelves, hooks, curtains, backsplash, and a rug contoured to the front "hallway."
TV mounting, hooks, shelves, mirror.
doors in under-chair and under-bed storage. Huge improvement.
extending bed to accommodate Scott's 6'4" frame.
flag, signal-booster antenna, and Reussers sign (made by our daughter).
New window in the door. Original unfrosted; this one clear with an adjustable shade.
White walls. Original tires had the advantage of being actual whitewalls (for the vintage look) but the disadvantage of being cheap crap, and one blew out on our way home from Salt Fork, maybe third trip out or so. Scott replaced the tires with quality tires, but they aren't whitewalls, so he paints them.

More Improvements

Stove top cover. Saw this on a FB vintage cruiser group and Scott recreated within the week. Here's the original stainless top, the stove with the top removed, and Scott's improved cutting board top. Sweet.
