I'm dying to see what you do to the front kitchen safari! The bubble is beautiful, I love all the color, there's nothing worse than " builder beige". Go big or go home

LED lighting

Leds throughout. Wish the pics were better. The warm LED works great with the soft wood tones.

The pleasures of having two

Sold the other Bubble. It was really nice...but, I kept it as original as possible....but usable. Actually, I liked it better. I just had to down size. Stick with me on this one....it will be fun. I rely on your thread for inspiration.

Funny as I said the same thing. Countless times I asked the price with no answer! Oh well, I've got a great trailer anyhow, and wouldn't like moving 2 across country.

That is a beautiful piece of fabric with many beautiful colors to choose from.

I'm not a decorator but since you are accepting opinions:If that were mine I would approach it this way.

I would let that fabric be the strong piece without competition. I would then pick a light color to keep my small space from looking smaller. I would likely choose a neutral, the lighter brown, green, or red and use one of those. Then I would likely do a pillow or two include the same fabric to tie it in. I would also find a accessory in that shade to repeat the color a couple of times in the trailer. Like a vase, a print, kitchen accessory, a bowl.

Thanks for letting us chime in.

I'm far from any style or decorator skills, but I'd think some kind of light to medium solid cream color would do 2 things - pick up on the sorta similar colors in your upholstry material as well as allow a good amount of sunlight into the trailer. Style of the curtains is well beyond my limited eyesight . .

Whatever you choose that's gonna be a sweet little trailer.

Hi Robin.

I don't remember what your flooring looks like, but hopefully there is a color in the upholstery fabric which you can also pull out of your flooring to tie those together. I'd choose a color from both which you feel good about, meaning really like. I'd also choose a contrast fabric to have a quilt or comforter fabricated out of and mix up the two fabrics for pillows; for the bed I'd do a couple out of the drapery fabric as well as one out of the upholstery, and I'd use the contrast fabric (comforter fabric) as cording. If you are having a couple of pillows made for the dinette, I'd use the other two fabrics; the upholstery fabric would just blend in with the same fabric on the dinette cushions. Normally, odd numbers of fabrics pleases the eye (just as in other things, such as landscaping -- using three's or five's), using the upholstery fabric/solid drapery/contrast, you'd have three fabrics.
