Inside paint is done.

Now that the priming is all done, on to the color scheme.

If it were only up to me, I would have gone with pinks and greens.

However, my husband and son over rule me, so here is the final decision.

 

The majority of the trailer will be a cream color. The drawers and doors will be a

 green and the cabinets white.

 

 So, here is how it turned out:

 

We spray painted all the hardware to give them a quick update.

 

 

We love the way it turned out.

Next, the new bathroom sink and kitchen backslash.

 

 

 



Let the painting begin!

Now that everything is clean it's time to move on to the painting.

We have decided to paint the entire inside of the trailer.

We made this decision because we wanted everything looking clean and bright.

As the inside is not a high quality hardwood like Mahogany or Burch.

It's a plywood panelling with a mahogany stain.

We chose Kilz primer and started the painting.

This ended up being a long process as the paint smells terrible and

will give you a major headache if you are exposed to the fumes to long.

 

 

We had to remove the original tile. The laminate flooring the previous owners

 put over it would not come off without lifting the original tiles as well.

 

We will be putting in new flooring so we didn't have to worry about getting any paint on the floor.

 

 

Now that the primer is done on to the color scheme and more painting.

Thank goodness we're done with the Oil based paint.

 

 

 



Clean Up!

OK, so I have to say the clean up took a lot longer then I thought it would.

Seven large garbage bags later and 10, 20, maybe 30 buckets of Lysol before the water turned from black, gray and finally clear. Several times I thought to myself is this thing ever going to get clean. It finally did....so here are a few pictures of the inside.

As you can see the previous owner decided to cover part of the original tile as well as

paint the front of the oven and hod fan.

 

We had removed all the drawers to start painting them.

You may also be able to see the toilet is not in the bathroom that fell off during our trip home.

 

The bathroom in all its gold glory.

As you can see the sink was replaced with one that is about two inches to small.

 

Last the front dinette area this was taken out by the previous owners.

 

So that it the blank space we are starting with.

We picked up our not so glamorous camper.

Yesterday we made a four hour trip to pick up our 1969 Ken-Craft travel trailer. The trip wasn't to far however we still stayed overnight about an hour away at my in laws. I have to say this trip was a true adventure. Oh my gosh! It's started with the previous owner having the camper full of her storage items. Once that was cleaned out, the tail or marker lights didn't work, and the storage unit had put a Lein lock on the trailer since the owner hadn't paid her bill. My amazing hubby fixed the issues. Then we drove thru a snow storm. (That's Utah in February) Lastly about 20 minutes from our home one of the tires comes off and rolls passed us. A stop at the "Tire Factory" and we are home. If it wasn't for my amazing hubby we would have never made it home. Now let the work begin.
