I absolutely love it. I'm a beachy type person - bright colors make me smile. What a lovely job you did. Jealous of your talents - that wasn't just paint, you made things.

Wow, Laurie! I love your colors and clever furnishings! And your pics came out GREAT!

Thanks for showing this off. I, too, am planning to update an older, from the 70s, Glenelle travel trailer that was once top-o-the line for hauling. I have bought new pez plumbing, but it's now a matter of installing it all----leakproofly!

wow, cool, I love lots of color, I have some similar "fish" fabric in my collection
of quilt scraps. I love the fabric inset into the cabinet door, I had a piece of
furniture years ago in my kitchen that I did that too. Had never seen anyone
else do it until you. I stuck the fabric on with starch, and I could easily peel
it off to wash it and put it back up. :D

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I love "beachy" stuff too. I love sewing and crafting and taught craft classes along time ago. I am now an elementary school secretary and DH is a HS teacher, we love having the same days off and plan on traveling/cruising during our summers off. When we were moving down here to FL from NC, we were contemplating living between a "motoryacht/houseboat" and a 5th Wheel. We have friends in N. Orlando that do this and it is a wonderful life! DH was really not ready to cut the "landlines" just yet as we are not full empty nesters, we still have our son (p/t worker & p/t college student) and DH wanted a landbase for a few more years, but I am sure I will get what I want in the future. We have a nice lil pool house about a half hour from Tampa and we are very happy with our move here. I will have to live (RVing) vicariously through all of you until we can get out there in a few more years....

Carol- I would love to meet up with you if you are back this way..and that goes for everyone! I am gonna keep my eye peeled to see when the gtg's are and if I can drop in, I will. I love to learn new things and know I will from all you experienced RVers...

I love the bright colors and that you made it your's. So many RVers are afraid to do anything tho their rigs cause it "might ruin the resale". I figure its your home and it needs to suit YOU. Good job.l

Don't take this wrong ... but it was laugh-out-loud cute (after living in cookie-cutter rigs). I LOVE the fish motif on your dining chairs. OMG! OMG! (gasp! gasp!) :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know what you mean Janice...my hubby used to call it "Whore house" :roll: colors...but I liked it and it was alot of fun to be able to use those colors and get away with it. It was only going to be us using the TT, so I didn't really care what anyone else thought.... it was mine!!! :lol: hehehe

PS. actually a general contractor bought the TT and was going to use it on his job sites for when his young family wanted to come and hang out with him, the wife loved :) the thing..ya just never know....???
