Just getting started.
Here I did some primer on the walls. I had to stop tho cuz we were getting snow and cold. :frightened:
I am gonna prime the walls and do a grey color with some silver metalic paint mixed in. A gal has to have a little "bling" in her trailer. :D

Boxes are starting to come to the door with stuff for the trailer! Counter top and cabinets should be ready to pick up today. Then I gotta paint them. They were cheaper that way- plus I wanted my own color choice. The 3" memory foam topper I will cut and use for two fold down beds is here too. I also orderd vinyl in balck and grey. I plan to cover the foam with grey vinyl with a black stripe down the middle length wise. I am going to paint a table and chairs in the same color scheme. Should look sharp! Also gonna make a curtain for under the sink with the vinyl. I have A LOT of work to do!!! :?

Well...
Trailer is pretty much painted. I wanna do one more coat today but prob can't get to it till later this week. Gotta work late tonight. :(
I have to say that I really dislike the "trim" that trailer companies use to cover the seems in the plywood walls. It's cheap, ugly and breaks easily. I may eventulaly rip it down and put some better trim pieces up. But,,,, so much to do now.

Here is the vinyl I will be using to cover the foam for the beds. I can't hardly believe how well it matches the flooring and paint! :D

So things are a bit delayed. As usual with any construction...things are more complicated than previously thought. So- still painting and have to do the floor first. Not sure how I'm gonna match the curve in the front of the trailer on floor. I will attempt to make a template out of paper, cut it and then trace that edge onto the flooring and cut.... Hope I don't have to say too many curse words in the process! :?

Why the BLEEEP does this website flip my photos that are facing the right way????
