Still working on the inside...

We've made quite a bit of progress. Hopefully by the end of next week, we'll be DONE! Would love to actually go somewhere this weekend...
 This is some left over insulation (or something!) the previous owners had and left in one of the interior storage drawers. I'm using it here as cushioning for my daughter's old 'horsey' chest that I'm upcycling into an ottoman.
 Left over foam from the rear bunk wall project. I think I ended up using every scrap of foam...



 This is the color I started with, and was actually happy with; however, the fabric I found at Wal-mart (ugh), which was only $1.45 per yard, was also a blue, so I repainted the bottom a greenish. With the colors I'm using, it will look great when done. (Wal-mart is really my only choice for inexpensive fabric in our little dinky town. We have a few great fabric stores, but I don't sew, and I knew I couldn't get anything sturdy for $1.45 yard!!)

 A table we found for rather cheap. I've debated with keeping this or using the drop down table that came with the rig. We're using this for now. Here, I'm priming with kilnz. I don't love painting...

 Messy progress - The bed covering is a duvet I fell in love with while "shopping" online. The size I needed was over $200. NO WAY. I luckily found the same duvet (new - Queen) on ebay and got it for $63!! Still more pricey than I wanted to pay, but it's lined, well made, and PRETTY. The bunk area is really more "full size" than queen. I ended up cutting the duvet (gasp!!) down to full size, hemmed it (hem tape - I don't sew) and used the left over to make 3 pillow cases! Well, only one is actually made, but the others are in the works!)
 The cheap blue fabric from Wal-mart. It's actually really nice. Will show the final product when it's done...
 Hubby working on the new canopy. What a pain in the a$$. Had to fight with the brackets and screws, then time in the scorching heat to figure out how to wind the canopy up.



 Hubby installing some lights we picked from the old Travco.

Panoramic shot of the bathroom. Not all the way done, but close! The faucet was replaced and so far no leaks!
 Table after 2 coats of gloss white and 1 coat of polyurethane




 FINALLY feel like we're making progress! We were able to move the couch back in today!
 Looking good!
 LOVE!
 Cabinets still missing knobs, but I do see such a difference.
