bummer.

i found a camper last night that would have been P-E-R-F-E-C-T.  it was a winnebago, sleeps 6, good-sized bathroom, good bones and in good solid condition,  and with a white stove that wasn't ugly for a 70's camper.  only about an hour away and $600, which i would have tried to get down to at least $500, that's my goal.  pay $500 and stay under $1000 for total renovation.

i've done my homework.  i have fabrics picked out, tile for the floor...

got chris on board with it and then..."SOLD." poo.

this....

 

could have looked similar to this... (I want a solid-colored door) and add some red in...


think white and duck egg blue paint...get rid of nasty curtains.



becomes this! polka dotted cushions, bright and airy!!!



with a nice side shelf for decor and storage. and sheer curtains like these....checkered floors, my adorable new vintage picnic basket. ah...can you see it?!

                             

kitchen before... new backsplash (not sure yet), bright, breezy curtain, white paint, i would exchange knobs on stove for vintage red ones, cutesy towels.  this had great counter space!!!



and the bathroom was big too, which i would probably convert the shower area into shelving and make the room more for storage.  most places we would camp would have restrooms and showers and i have a portable 5-gallon bucket with disposable bags and a toilet lid that i would rather use than deal with hook-ups etc.  think skirt around the sink, new curtains, paint and floor.  this is a great space.

this camper was only listed for a day before it sold.  things on KSL go fast, especially as refinishing vintage campers is growing in popularity.  i have some competition to keep up with...
