In the beginning
This is one of my favorite threads as I get to see all the variations of your beautiful and unique living rooms while we try to figure out what to do with ours. Since it has been a bit quiet lately I will give it a (tongue and cheek) bump of my own vast improvements. I know many Airstreams are tucked away for the winter but I read the forums and I know you are out there having fun. Come on show and tell.
Photo's show:
Original condition
Almost Original condition
Old carpet removed, cleaned, a house throw rug so we don't stick to the sub floor glue residue, two impromptu lawn chairs and outdoor table in case we needed to sit down without going outside to picnic table. It's a work in progress and a labor of love. All the money is under the belly pan so far.

Ha, if she reads your post it may take care of itself lol. Took an awful lot of work to get to this point, but I would not trade the experience for anything. Believe it or not, I did all my remodeling in hotel parking lots. This unit has never even been home. My work dictates that I am on the road 365 days a year. It helped to make friends with the maintenance man at my hotels for past year. Got to get electricity for tools, borrow ladders etc. Still not the best way to do it but it worked for me. Glad you like it. Thanks.

first pic taken the day i bought the Riveteer
2nd one taken last week. I use a patio furniture set for seating, rotating between the loveseat and a rocker. eventually will build a storage unit and barrel shaped seat to fit in the corner.
One problem i have is that i want the seating to be oriented to look out the windows, not at the kitchen, etc.
the flooring is cheap linoleum and I really like it! put it in as a temporary fix but it is working great.

Not too major, but I reupholstered the sofa and dinette and made new curtains. The curtains are insulated and include a foil radiant heat barrier that makes a dramatic difference holding in the heat in the winter, and keeping the heat out in the summer.

That looks really nice. Can you show us close ups of the curtains, sounds like a great system.

Where did you find cheap Linoleum? Or is it sheet vinyl? What's the product name, do you remember?

Unfortunately I don't have any closeup shots.
The backing is called the Warm Window Insulated Shade System and includes two layers of insulation, radiant heat shield and vapor barrier. I do a lot of cold weather camping and it makes a huge difference. Warm Window Treatment Insulated Shades
I blogged the project on the following thread. http://www.airforums.com/forums/f39/...ect-61003.html
On edit, I just found this photo of my mom working on the curtains in the old thread. http://www.airforums.com/forums/f39/...ml#post1091363

It is virtually all 1/4" Plywood, birch panels with 2" oak strips cut to cover the joints.
The walls were actually pretty easy and quick, considering I was learning as I was building...
Thanks for the compliments, I am probably a little too proud of how it turned out, and certainly a competent wood worker would find fault, but I like it!
