Do you have that special picture or wall art that doesn’t seem to fit, but you want it anyway? Upgrading the TV didn’t do much. What if you transformed your dashboard into an inviting entryway?

Cloth drapes offer privacy, but not much insulative protection. I chose not to part with an original art piece after selling our house. It was the perfect size for the front against the backdrop of the windshield, but too large to sit on a stand. Letting the picture lean against the curtains wouldn’t work. So how does one create the illusion of an entryway or hallway table? Create a faux wall. We crafted a faux wall by gluing thin vinyl material to aluminized bubble wrap cut to fit our windshield.  Benefit? Thermal insulation for excessive heat and cold, and the look of a table against a wall versus curtains or just the dashboard. Next, we added a wood tray to accommodate a lamp and accessories to complete the impression of an entryway.

We’ve seen dashboards lined with plants, many with stuffed animals and some are just a catch-all. Some use the steering wheel as a table covered in a fashionable tablecloth hosting a lamp as the first thing you see when entering their coach. Elegant and practical. We’re still contemplating that. The only thing left is hang the picture from the overhead cabinet. What vision do you see?
