Im not looking at this as any way to increase value. I just can’t look at this gross old style of interior anymore. I’m making a transition to using my RV a lot more and want something nice.
Any ideas on hours involved in this project? Including ceiling?
It just seems a shame to discard an otherwise perfectly functional truck camper when the interior styling is the issue.
I’m looking to get this kind of interior as far as styling goes:
Is it possible and any estimate on hours involved?
Or is it just better to spend $30k to get it?
"White washed" wood look?
UGG..
Not enough contrast for my taste with white washed cabinets and floors plus the white/grey backsplash and counter.
To redo the cabinets you would have to remove the existing finish to get to the bare wood on the doors/drawers and cabinet faces. If you are lucky, you have solid real wood and not laminated veneer or worse yet vinyl material. Once the finish has been removed then you can proceed with a white wash treatment.
New counter tops shouldn't be much of an issue, depending if you are planning to leave existing counter in place and cover with new laminate over top or planning to replace with Corian solid surface counters..
Flooring can simply be done with stick on imitation wood look vinyl planks in your color choice. Of course since all of the flooring was put down before the walls and cabinets were placed, you will have to cut around those to remove any carpet that is present.
Ceiling is going to present some challenged to replace, very good chance that every inch of it is securely glued to a backer board and that backer board most likely is glued and stapled in place..
I suspect you are going to kill quite a few hundred hours of time into it and a few thousand in money and good chance kill chances of selling it easily down the road (monochrome somber grey tones makes it feel "clinical" or hospital like).
