Spring is here and new adventures await!

It has been quite a while since I have updated my blog.  Work, life, dogs, hubby, all have gotten in the way.  BUT....since I have been on pinterest daily looking for RV ideas, (yes, RV ideas) and everything seems to be on blogs, I though tI should update mine and keep it going. So, here is my first of many blog posts for 2014!

We got a new RV!  ok...not new new, new to us.  she is a 1997 Gulfstream Conquest.  She has everything I had wanted, including the living room slide!  YEAH!


Because she was parked for quite a while, (4 years) she needed a good cleaning (How many stink bugs can fit in a wet/dry vac before you have to empty it?) and some very needed updates.  Why did everything in the 90s have to be sea foam green and mauve?  YUCK.  So I have embarked on the RV renovation/redecoration.  It has been fun and interesting.  So many ideas!  LOVE Pinterest now.

Here are some old pics:
 
 
 
 
So I have done the bedroom valances and started to look for a new bedspread and pillowcases....all in due time.  I have also done the living room valances and covered the couch.  Hubby ripped apart the top bunk which had a leak (don't all class C's have that?), re-sealed it and reinforced it for the pups.  New plywood and carpet.  In the before pics we had already taken out the chair (behind the driver's seat) and now we have large Varikennels there.  See After:





Still a total work in progress.....going to add to my blog about all of this with more before's and afters...and the dogs...well...let's say they kind of like it!



More to come!
