Sorry to repeat what was already said but very nice work.

Particularly like the wood, the small end table, and the open feel of no upper cabinets over the kitchen counter.

Going to bookmark your photos for inspiration.

Looks great, very open and airy. Do you miss the storage you lost with the overheard cabinets gone? We live in ours for half the year so I don't see it as an option, but it sure looks nice.

You really made some nice choices on materials and smart combinations! it's hard to imagine that's the same trailer! Great job for a design you will enjoy for a long time - pretty colors too! Bright - fun - unique.

Hey all..thx for the compliments...labor of love and whatnot

Made the cabinet shelves, bought the drawer fronts in stainless steel from Ikea.

Countertops are reclaimed longleaf heart pine.

Fridge is in a cabinet left of the bathroom...had a larger one but rarely use (I typically only camp 2-4 days at a time, so replaced with a mini fridge to get more shelf space.

Don't miss the storage, building shelves in the back over the bed where you can't see them...I'm 6'4" so like the openness vs. the original...and tons of shelf/countertop space.

Window treatments - most all the windows have OceanAire pull down blinds like they use in the new Airstreams...not a fan of curtains with the clean/modern look of the trailer and the blinds work great.
