Weekend Warriors

-
We finally managed to get the trailer up to the property on Monday. There were a few bumps in the road, one almost resulting in no trailer.
This weekend the fun begins! My plan is to start on the cupboards and other wood Work in the family room/kitchen area. I feel with proper prep the cabinets will be okay to tape off when I start to work on the walls in a few weeks.
We have no service as of yet at the property so I will do a before and after post on Monday next week
I have been busy making throw pillows. I am no seamstress. But they will do. I purchased Tommy bahama Beach Bounty fabric off amazon.com. Here is a link for the fabric https://amzn.to/2ttnGBQ
*please note that I would receive a commission for products purchased through the link
this fabric was better than i could have hoped
The cabinets will be painted in Benjamin Moore Rockport Grey, reduced by 50%

As a side note we also got our address

Fall

Well summer is over, bring on fall! We have spent all but one weekend up north working on the trailer and clearing mostly the poplar trees off the property. We are far from finished with any of it, but the trailer is finished for this year. In total we spent no more than $500 this far. Paint and our new to us pull out couch were the biggest purchases. On tap for next year... the bedroom headboard, a pallet wall in the family room, tile backsplash and most of all to replace the flooring and stairs. These projects will bring up the total cost quite a bit but will be so worth it. This is for sure my happy place!

The bedroom/bathroom was the most difficult, it is so tight! We painted the cabinets in Benjamin Moore pale oak. The walls were painted in Woodlawn blue. Our bedding is Restoration Hardware. This room will need the most touch ups when we remove and replace the flooring next year.

RV 2021

Hello all! It is April 2021, several years since the RV remodel on a budget. I thought I would do an update for anyone who may be wondering how it has held up. The short answer is fabulous! Our trailer is kept on our property in very cold Canada. We can't even get to it in the winter. We also shut off all services when we are not there in the summer, so it experiences extreme cold and extreme hot. The walls... Perfect, not even a touch up needed, and I have to scrub them regularly. We have dogs and grown kids, plus we are out working in the dirt everyday.  The cabinets... Also perfect, aside from the initial finish fail on the underside of the cabinets when I pulled the tape off from painting the walls Things that did not hold up well are things I may have mentioned on the original blog but had not blogged about.  I painted the leather couch. Fail. It was awful, the couch literally disintegrated after that.  It was a beautiful new to me pull out
