RV Inspiration

Some of you may have already read my post about our new-to-us, used RV.  Throughout this entire ordeal, I have spent most nights researching all things RV.  I am addicted.  There are so many resources available online if you know what to look for.  Keywords are important.  After finding all of the technical specs we needed to reconstruct our RV pretty much from the walls up, I started researching design ideas.  Because, Hello, this is what I love:  The design part of remodeling.

This has taught me many things, but the most important one is:  RV Decorators are awful.  Who picks the fabrics for RVs??  Even the newer models are at most "OK".  I get the part about using durable, stain resistant fabrics, but COME ON.  Really?  Do the designers go to the fabric wholesalers and find the most hideous colors on purpose?  Why can't camping be cute?  Well, I am here to tell you it can be cute.  Seriously, it really can.  Amongst all of the hideous-make-me want-to-throw-up-in-my-mouth RVs out there, I have stumbled across some super cute remodels.  If your RV has great bones, consider remodeling with some easy changes like paint, hardware and incorporating some color.  You don't have to spend upwards of $60k just to get a decent interior palette in an RV.  I don't agree with some of the color choices per se, but everyone has their own style, so who am I to judge?  Check out all of this awesomeness:

Look at all of that white.  I just love how clean it looks.

The dark floors add a nice contrast.

This is so simple and clean.  Again, the dark floors are striking with the white backdrop.

Another view.  This bedroom looks super cozy and by now, I am sure you have noticed:  I am all about the color white..

Shabby Chic say whaat?

This is one of the first RV remodels I fell in love with.  Love.  My husband: not so much.  The colors are super cute.  Notice everything is neutral, so when you want to make a major color change, you only have to change out a few key pieces.

I am completely envious of this look.

The same RV, changed to a black and white color scheme.

I especially enjoyed reading this blog, because their RV has a layout very similar to ours.  I really loved the detailed posts on how they renovated everything.  The use of color is great and I absolutely adore the white cabinets.  I found it interesting the way they removed the bedroom and created a living room-like area.

This one is more like a small apartment than an actual home on wheels.  They even travel with their animals!  I really like the kitchen back splash.

Again, painting the cabinets white, makes a HUGE difference in the overall feel of an older RV.  The owners of this RV even painted faux marble-like counter tops.

Do you have design ideas for RVs?  I would love to read about them.

As always, thanks for reading.  :)
