The floor is the peel and stick laminate from lowes. You are supposed to prime the floors first, but they don't tell you that!

What a lovely job you have done. The colors are fabulous! I am just starting the interior of our 1976 25' Tradewind. Wish me luck!
Blessings,

Best Wishes!
I wish you the best and hope that your road was smoother than ours! I would tell you to brace yourself and know that the surprises are coming, but roll with it and have fun! You can check out my blog if you want to see a more detailed look at the process. Next week, we are taking her to have the brakes, wheels and tires replaced... really hoping the axle is okay!

Congrats from a fellow Georgia girl! It looks wonderful! I'm still slogging through the process, and hope mine will look as good as yours does. BTW, what type of window coverings did you use?

I have the original blinds still. They are cream colored and don't really match. I am going to get new ones from Lowes that are white, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I opted not use to use a window treatment because I was really trying to keep it clean and modern. I pulled out the curtain tracks around the windows and filled in the rivet holes. Have fun on your project!

I was debating removing the curtain tracks and valences as well, but am somewhat hesitant because I wasn't sure how much the curtains help reduce the chill in the winter. Thoughts?

Most likely they do! Also, as another member advised me, there are gaps in between the blinds due to the curves so for true privacy you might want something in between them. As my husband will attest, I am apt to sacrifice practical for pretty. During those moments we want privacy, I'm just going to lay a towel over top of blinds!

Caroline,
We have had our trailer for 12 years..... we have now totally gutted it......took it to the factor in Ohio....left for 5 days....went to Niagara Falls...then picked it up ...they had totally rewired...put all new interior aluminum walls...mounted ac...fans....lights...
This is the year to finish...cabinets...upholstery...etc.
We are headed to the Academy in New Mexico in May. Need to recharge.

Yes, I've been thinking about those gaps. Surely someone has developed some kind of track that keeps the blinds in place while allowing them to slide easily.

It is finally coming to a close. The interior is coming together. What a labor of love. It was so much worse than I ever expected. A special thanks to all those that advised us through the process. Now onto the exterior!
