A HOLY PURSUIT

Travel Trailer Progress: New Paint

Personaladmin4 Comments

My motivated husband spent this weekend re-painting our old camper. It was absolutely filthy after our camping trip and so we had to wash it down before painting. I was pretty giddy because I've never been to a car wash where you do everything yourself lol. We couldn't paint together since one of us had to watch Kaiden, but it took Ethan about 2 hours to tape and paint. He did a FANTASTIC job and I couldn't be happier with the results!We will be adding a thick stripe just under the windows but I'm not sure what color we will do. I'm leaning towards more earthy tones since the inside will be decorated as such. As much as I would love to do a crazy design, it will be extremely difficult to tape and paint it ourselves with all the ridges that make up the siding.Some internal work that Ethan will be doing is replacing our water tank. He already re-wired some of the electrical work and replaced some old wooden boards. He is also working to ensure the stove and shower/toilets are working properly. I painted some cabinets with chalkboard paint but I will have to post those pictures later.Some short term decorating goals I have...

  • paint one of the inside walls with color to add some pop
  •  make cushions for the dining area
  • makes curtains
  • find rugs for the inside
  • spray paint ugly, gold light fixtures
  • replace headboard fabric
  • switch out some knobs
Some long term decorating goals...
  • redo back splash
  • change flooring

 What color do you think we should paint the stripe? Comment below and let me know what you think!
