Van Reno Reveal or Ta Daaaaa!!!!



It's done.  It took three days, to take apart, tape, paint, put back together, and to do a few other things l have been wanting to for a while.  But it is done.

And......

I really, really like it.  I am very happy with the outcome of a few coats of paint.
                                                 Not bad for an old girl, the van, not me!!!

I have just made the van my 'home'.  Sounds crazy since l have been living in it since April.  I have done little things to put my stamp on it prior to this.  However, painting it was a major Reno for me.



I have never like panelling, whether in a home or a van/RV.  I find it just plain butt ugly.  Now it is gone. 
 
 
 
 


I am now motivated to add a few more things to make it my home.  Artwork, drapes, little kitchy things.....


And of course, a new floor!!!!  That's next.  I think the person who l am house sitting for is going away in a couple of months again....might be the perfect time to install a new floor.

  10. Job well done on the RV renovation! It definitely looks like home! In fact, it looks like a studio apartment. And I think the white paint goes well with the cabinets. It makes the RV space look a little

  11. I think this looks wonderful! I bought a tiny trailer for weekend jaunts and I'm painting all of it too. It's from the eighties and while it is wonderfully cute and well-designed, it is all paneling and plaid! I'm redoing it all in cream and linen and black.

    Your blog is a nice read, I'm happy to see how much you enjoy your downsizing. I have a very small home, but we plan on traveling in a campervan if we ever manage to actually retire.
