Project #3 Outdoor area

We moved camp spots when we got the new camper. So not only do we have inside to fix up but outside too. And I've started....

My "garden bed". Really, I'm not sure what to call it but I've basically taken most my outdoor things and the twin iron bed frame that ended up not fitting in the little back room in the camper that we're creating for Eli, and making a "nifty" little area for plants, hummingbirds, other birds and such. And trust me, the hummingbirds and all birds love it. My neighbor lady loves it too. Her name's LaJean and she has the same kind of taste I do! She's a fab lady! She came over to thank me for making this little "garden bed" because she said she can enjoy looking at all the birds from her big window which she sits at when she sews. Plus, she loves the "look". Honestly, when I was putting it all together, I looked over and saw her big window and thought...I'll position this just right and I'll do this for both of us! Cause I could tell by some of her outdoor stuff that she was a kindred spririt! Looks like my intuition was right! She might even like having tea outside one day! :) I still have more outdoor to do...so I'll be posting more pics to this post later....

Project #2 Kitchen Counter and Sink

Ok, so the kitchen counter area was in much need of TLC....you'll see what I mean in the following pics....

Here's the kitchen counter area as is when we bought it! I know...you're in love!!!

Cleaned up. Plywood removed. We figured we'd just use the resources we had since we're poor and so we decided to use sink that came with the camper...Matt will do some fixing up on it with his handy plumbing tools he always has around...and I've decided to just use the plywood to make the counter top. Will sand it real good and paint it with some oil based paint in whatever color I find in the reject pile at walmart. I've decided to decorate the camper "no fuss" style. With whatever I have or whatever is cheap and pray it all comes together nicely ~ lol. Most of all, I want to just use things I really like.

Sanding. Matt, Micheal, and I all sanded.

I painted it RED!!! I know...pretty crazy. I'm not even a big fan of red. But I'm thinkin' it'll be pleasantly different. If I just hate it, I can always repaint!

Counter top done. Now Matt will install sink and faucet.

Also, Matt painted the edges of the upper cabinets this vintage green color I found in the reject paint.

Even Eli has his part in all this! Lol. Still more to do...like paint bottom cabinets and redo walls behind sink and such. So I'll be adding more to this post later......

Project #1 The Ceiling

Well, here's a few pics of our first projects. Not quite finished with them but here's the starts.....we'll start with the ceiling.....

This is the front of the camper as is when we bought it! Oh so nice!!!

Cleaned out and ready for ceiling redo. We discovered a leak and didn't like the looks of the front anyways so we're doin' a whole redo.

Matt...ripping the ceiling out!

We found this homemade "plug" where the leak was! Wow!!! .........................................Truck loaded down with yuck old ceiling and ready to haul off!

Progress being made. I'll add more to this post later. So stay tuned.....
