Kitchen Refresh Part 2

-
After deciding that stripping was not the way to go I needed to pick some paint colours.
For the uppers, which were always going to be painted I decided on Benjamin Moore Tapestry Beige... This is one of the most used colours in my house... I have used it on my fireplace surround
my Mora clock and current dining table
for the breakfast bar I wasn't sure. I ended up ordering a colour match for Benjamin Moore's Water's Edge
The colour I got was not even close, it seemed periwinkle... I had to make my own colour. It is still more blue then I would have liked, but I like it. 
Do not mind the lightbulbs in my hanging macrame light fixture... I realized pretty early on in this process that while they are lovely edison bulbs are not conducive to a good lighting experience. 
I am rounding the finish line on this project. Hopefully tomorrow I can post an update of the finished project ❤️

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!

RV Bedroom

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...
