She has always wanted a vintage pram (baby buggy)
She knows nothing of this new project, but doesn't check here so we should be safe.
Picked up this (seemingly 61) Pedigree Pram about a month ago on CL. It was living up in Lowell Mass. so a friend from Salem grabbed it and brought it to West River Wesites. Keeping it under wraps, and out of photos (that I would likely be tagged in - thus spoiling the surprise) was a trick.
Got the pram all stripped down, and have begun refinishing it.
Doing a color change from navy/cream to black and white.
The tub will be metallic black (with a very fine fleck in it) with a white stripe. The interior is a waterproof tailored white damask. The top is going off to Tijuana on Monday for a black exterior white headliner. The chrome work will all be redone in smoked nickel and a new set of tyres are being molded by a restoration shop in the Netherlands.
Planning to have it done by October to give it to her before her shower.
