The dinner bounce pad is gone!!!! And we have not had to say sit, stop jumping, please just eat your food etc. in over a week!
I had never loved the aesthetics of the ole dinette booth but when the functionally of it became less than ideal we really started contemplating a little renovation, we pulled the trigger and I’m happy to announce it is finally done!
I painted the slide out…aka the living room and dining room walls “spinach white.” It took two coats but went on easy and seems to be holding up just fine. Didn’t prep the walls with anything, just started painting away! The white brick on the bottom portion of the walls is a peel and stick. Pretty easy to stick on and if you want to get super into functionality it should help with our insulation or lack thereof in the camper walls.
The couch has a new slipcover on it that we got for Christmas. The couch was made from fake leather and was cracking and peeling like crazy…and we don’t even have animals! We had thrown a blanket over the back and an old shower curtain over the cushions to make it a little less of an eye sore. But the slip cover has done wonders!!! Now the blankets do not slip off and it looks wayyyyyy better!
We took out the booth (and sold it on Facebook for $20….it would have cost us $20 to take it to the dump so we feel like that was a $40 swing to the positive for us)! We found this little table and chair set on Amazon. It took a minute to piece it together but I love how it turned out.
Went to Hobby Lobby for the first time in 7 months and got these little white baskets…they are actually napkin holders from the party section….but I find them highly functional this way too! Small, light weight. And able to hold these little trees from Target’s $3 section!
As we sit at the table we now get to look out the window and I love that view way more than looking at the fridge and island. One of my favorite parts is that the little suction hummingbird feeder is right there on the window and we get to sit and watch them as we eat. A sweet little gift God has given us reminding us he takes care of the birds and He most certainly takes care of us! We get to see a multitude of hummingbirds and then two days ago this other little guy showed up! It was a verdin a cute little bird only found in hot desert regions.
Our renovation cost:
Paint- $33
Brick- $50
Table- $165
Decor- $15
Total- $263 (minus $20/$40) depending on how you look at it!
Totally worth our time and money to make this little camper feel less like it just came off the production line and more like us!
