Okay, so everyone who has redone or redecorated a camper- I need your help!
I'm buying a camper, hopefully today if all goes well, to live in temporarily (which could mean a few months or could mean more than year, depending on how slow my parents are with some things) and once I get it I'm going to renovate it in attempts to make it slightly less redneck lol. So far, and nothing is 100% decided yet, I'm thinking bead board wallpaper, becuase even though I'm 99% against wallpaper, it actually looks nice, and is cheap. And I've got a ton of new snap together wood flooring that's just sitting in an attic that I can use for the floors. Probably will paint the cabinets light grey or white, and then paint the counter tops to look like marble or granit. And I'll repaint anything else that needs it, with the appropriate kind of paint (stove, bathtub, etc.), I want to chalk board paint the fridge, if it has an ugly fridge, and reupholster all the cushions and get new curtains. So far, how does this sound? And does anyone have any better/cheaper/cuter ideas?
Also, my big question, I hate the way the outside of campers look, so I'm going to add a porch on it, so it'll look better and be more sturdy than an awning, and I was wondering.. Does anyone ever put siding on a camper?
If it's possible I'd like to do wood, or wood looking, siding. That way it's got sort of a rustic feel on the outside and then a nice clean open feel on the inside.
Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
