Reno Unveiling

Here’s a little riddle for you:

What do Joanna Gaines and Christina Anstead have in common?

They both make renovating look so easy.

Plot twist: it’s not!

For the past 4 weeks, I have been using every free minute I could find to work on renovating my new-to-me RV. My two main goals were to get rid of all the brown (because blech) and make the space feel more like home…like MY home. Here’s what I did (in this order, too):

Removed dinette
Removed window “treatments”
Removed headboard
Primed and painted walls / cabinets
Added kitchen back splash
Installed new cabinet hardware
Built a work space
Installed new flooring
Painted bathroom accent wall
Decorated

Wait… that’s it?! Although it feels like I did a lot more, I’d say these DIY projects have changed the space up quite a bit. The dark, enclosed space felt tinier than it actually is and the boxy frames around the windows and clunky dinette booth weren’t helping one bit. My favorite part of the whole reno was the flooring. Funny enough, this was also my least favorite. It was tedious and time-consuming, but it truly tied the space together and made it feel less like, well, a camper. Okay, I’ll quit my yappin’ (it’s been a long quarantine) and show you the before and afters!
