We just purchased our first Airstream, a '93 Excella, last week. It belonged to an older couple and was all original and in great shape.
The problem is, the baby blue carpeting and valances, as well as the mini blinds AND wall-to-wall curtains, look like a mortuary!

First thing we did was took all the curtains down and removed the valances in the bedroom. Wow, what a view.

We can see outside now. We also removed the bottom drapery rail. How do you sleep with this rail at the head of the bed? Ouch!

We have just begun removing the blinds and replacing them with curtains made to size--just not so much of them. We only need them for a little privacy and light control. Just took the top tabs off the old curtains, sewed them onto new, and put velcro in the bottom corners to hold them down when needed. I don't think we even need the valances back up!
So how will we get rid of that baby blue carpeting

It looks like it was laid before the rest of the interior was installed. Whew--that looks like work.

How do we get this out
