Motor Home Redo

I love my hubby...really, I do. He appreciates my creativity and talent. He is forever finding me things to make, embellish, or add to my pile of things to do (usually the case). 

This Mother's Day the hubby surprised me. Instead of a bouquet of flowers or a piece of jewelry he bought me a motor home. Really. A 32 foot Holiday Rambler. Talk about a surprise. He spotted it at a friend's a while back and fell in love with it. I should have known something was up but didn't until he drove it down our driveway tooting the horn to announce the arrival of my gift.
Impressive.

Big. 

                                                A project and a half.

The first thing to do was to get rid of the old mattress (the former owner wanted it back, thank you). And clean the inside (thank you, a young friend). A couple of things off the huge list that comes with a motor home redo.
I still have to decide on colors (neutral would be best...earth tones...not white...hubby likes gas, grease and oil too much). Wood accents? I have a pile of cherry from a tree we cut a while ago.
We had company over the Memorial Day holiday weekend and found out our inflatable mattress fits perfectly on the bed. We also found out the air conditioner works. Phew! Good news for sure.

Things that will have to be fixed up or replaced:
floor (hardwood going down)
curtains
stove
backsplash
headliner
cabinets?
refrigerator (good cleaning)
seats
cushions for the dining table
throw for the sofa
bed linens and curtains for the bedroom


I'll keep you posted.....Step by step.
