making my camper a little prettier and more versatile

made the front "couch" a little more useful. Ignore the "curtains" that's just the fabric draped so that I can see what it looks like. curtains to come!

couch

bunk beds

also gave the back dinette area a little flare with the orange table. this is most likely going to be a BED most of the time but figured I'd make it pretty anyway in case I had GUESTS!

This is still very much a work in progress as I'm sure you can see but all in due time. so far I LOVE IT!!

I love that orange. After sanding, did the paint turn out that smooth and shiny with or without some kind of buffing?

Well blow me away. Must be an artist right?
just have fun and do it your way. I want to put 6" blue poke-dots on my new Casita, but I'm getting a no but x@3% your not. Everyone would just smile and say something to affect, now that guy is doing it his way? Again the Home Owners Association would raise hell because I wasn't in their fashion. (Socialist)

Thanks John nope not an artist just love to be COLORFUL! and figured my camper is a safe place to play with all the colors I want since it'll usually just be me and the dogs and they don't care about colors. this is where I have been having a LOT of fun. so here's another BLAST of color. my kitchen area.

oh and john.... GO FOR IT with the polka dots! HECK you only live once! the OUTSIDE of my boler is still just plain white. once I get it fixed up and painted I plan on putting paw prints all over it and painting the belly band and the window trim in glow in the dark paint
