Pimp My Trailer

**Note, this was written originally on March 6th!**

Ah, the joys of modern technology. I’m currently sitting in our camp trailer/RV in an RV park in a little town about 40 miles from Likely. And I’m on my laptop, clicking away while my daughter naps…my husband is at the local high school gym getting ready for his basketball game that starts in half an hour. And I’m admiring the new floor my husband just installed in our little trailer, and it makes me cringe at the decor in the rest of it!! It’s not bad – the trailer is only a few years old – but if any house was decorated like this it would be considered so dated and HIDEOUS! So why is it okay to decorate a new camp trailer like we’re in 1988?? Blue and tan florals with oak cabinetry, brass hardware and faux sponge painted walls…I’m very tempted. And these are a few photos that inspire me…

Not necessarily exactly how I’d want to do the trailer, but I love the customization!

I want modern patterns, colors and new metals! And I think I could do a lot of it myself…well, with me and a staple gun and a power drill! The sewing I’d need help with…

And I think I didn’t finish this post when I first started it because I really can’t find any more good inspiration images. I feel like I’ve scoured the entire internet, so I’m just going to have to do it all myself! :) Please let me know if you find anything good out there!!

    My husband and I are expecting a child July 4th. Due to his job we travel ALOT and live out of hotel rooms. We will be getting a used camp trailer right at or right after the time the baby is born. This trailer is in poor condition. Definantly not in proper condition for me to fix up in time to accomidate a baby, or a family. Alot of rapairs, upgrades, and replacements need to be made. The gas heater doesn’t work. The stove doesn’t work. The area for sleeping is two twin beds. And his dad had dogs in there. unhousebroken dogs. Since we are getting it for free, I cannot complain about the condition. We also cannot afford to just finance a new one. I really do not want to have a baby in a hotel room, but we have to travel.
    My question is: do you know anyone who would be willing to fix it up as a charity case. Or if anyone would fix it up to be ideal for our family and let us make payments. We do not have thousands of dollars to dump into it at this time. I want what is best for our new baby and my sanity.
    I have browsed the pitures on this site and see many many examples that I love. The cost to get these are out of the question. Any advice would be valuable to me. Thank you
