RV Decor Redo

[Ladymac]

After buying a camper we found out the sofa was smelly from previous person owning a cat, smelt like it lived and died on the sofa, so out it came, stripped everything off it, was going to sell but decided to try redoing it from scratch, foam and all. So far so good, waiting on the faux leather fabric to come.
Started out changing the booth, painting the walls, getting rid of the dated wall cornices and blinds. Only thing we haven't touched yet is the floor. hmmmm . Quite proud of the results

LadyMac, I really like what you have done and like the curtains you put in. You may want to consider putting the blinds back in - of course after they have been cleaned good.

I have found I like to be able to close the blinds to cut out light from neighboring campers, overhead lights in campground or cars coming in and out at night (or early morning). For some reason, in the TT the light coming in from outside bothers me more than at home. Maybe because it is from a different source.

My plan is to put up those silver looking insulation things by velcro for when we are at camp grounds that have lights from poles or campers. As far as blinds, that is a no no, they don't really block that much light out and they can be a little dated, my theme I am going with is beach, bright and airy. Thanks for the advice though 🙂

I especially like the tiles in your kitchen update....good job! Did you have to take off the wallpaper or did you just tile over the top? Did you know how to tile before you did this or did you take a class?

Visit your local Lowe's or Home Depot. They have the tiles on sheets already spaced out and ready to lay. You glue them to the wall then remove the backing paper and the tile work is done.

They are peel and stick from Home Depot $10 a sheet , cost 98 for the kitchen and bathroom sink area

I especially like the tiles in your kitchen update....good job! Did you have to take off the wallpaper or did you just tile over the top? Did you know how to tile before you did this or did you take a class? I'd like to redo my kitchen but I'd hate to really screw it up. That's why I'm asking "how to" questions.

Can't wait for more pictures. You're done a great job. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Looks great!! I'll have to see if I can get the courage to tackle the job, seeing as I still have my great-grandma's rocking chair sitting in the garage, stripped down to the frame awaiting my brave moment LOL.
I think I can handle the dinette, sofa worries me.
Please update the sofa when the material comes in.
