One summer I took all the doors off in the house and painted them and did all the woodwork throughout. One summer I painted all the old kitchen cabinets That kind of a thing...
We are saving for a bigger camper.
We have a little 17' 1975 Kit Companion and it worked great for us when it was just the 4 of us. But now there are ten. I love family!!!!!!!! So DH and I want to get something bigger. My dream camper would be a walk around queen bed in the front. Four bunk-beds in the back and then a sofa that makes into a bed as well as a table that makes down into a bed. DH wants a slide (or tip-out whatever they are called) and an awning. So we are saving our pennies and looking. But in the mean time, I have a cute and useful albeit very dated camper that I own. So the project is a makeover.
I will be on an almost non-existent budget as my pennies are going for a, new to us, bigger camper. I have a gift card to JoAnn fabrics. I have some paint that was purchased and not all was used up. I think the biggest expense will be the flooring but it is a small camper so I think in truth that won't be much either. I'm hoping to keep my redo to $60.00
So the challenge is on. I will keep track and see if it's possible. :-)
I think some before pictures are in order.
Notice the drawer. DH used the camper in the winter one time and it was COLD. He had the heat at full force - so much so that it melted the drawer trim a bit...
He believes he can warm and bend it back into shape.
My search will begin today.
I think the first should be the wall paper and material for curtains.
Then I can choose my paint colors. My thoughts are green and white. Light and airy...
This is kind of what I'm heading for:

Love your project...if I were closer I'd help! Green and white? Perfect! Keep us posted! D.
ReplyDeleteWish you were closer too - we'd have a blast!
DeleteDH picked out the paint colors. I was thinking white walls with light green drawers and doors. He wanted a darker green than I had planed. (all the light colors had him worried. :-))
So the colors are the palest green for the walls and the drawers/doors are a moss green.
But I have begun I will share pictures along the way.
How fun.. I love these kind of projects. And I love the green and white ,that you are thinking about.. so cute.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see photos of work in progress..
I will be sure to post along the way. Once the project began I realized I had chosen well. It will take some time but I think be rewarding.
