We also used touches of this uber cool new stamped stainless steel in the bathroom ... loved it so much we're having panels cut for our fridge too!
In the bathroom area we used it on that little piece over the door (used to be floral wallpaper) and also on the panel at the shower door and on the front panel of the box pedestal the toilet sits on...the rest of that box is now all stainless...no more carpet (no clue why AS thought that was ever a good idea!)

So all of the walls inside the shower including the end cap were painted white. We also had the shower pan painted white but we're having some issues with it... They've tried 3 different preps and paints and it's still peeling... it's 20 years old and who knows what oils it has absorbed so we're on the hunt for either a new shower pan or we're going to have to fabricate one...if anyone has ideas, holla! I'm going to PM Andy as well.
All of the walls outside the shower are now aluminum with alum. trim. We replaced all of the fixtures with brushed nickel...still need to install the shut off valve on the shower head .. think that got left up at Avalon ...it's small and probably got lost in the box of stuff he had to install. I like to shop and hunt for stuff so bought all of the fixtures for the bath myself....
We also rotated the toilet so your knees don't hit the bathroom door any longer!

We did a few more things in this last phase... replaced the microwave trim with a nicer vented one...we had it replaced with a plain one in Phase 1 but it wasn't that nice and didn't fit correctly. I had also seen a photo on here awhile back of an AS with the coolest flip down table so we had a similar one fabricated ...while he was at it we had him replace the wall the tables mount on with a real oak wall and he also fabricated a new top flip down table to match the other one...we're slowly getting rid of some of the vinyl in there!
We also installed a new mirror inside the larger (my) closet door -- the one the PO had installed had a huge crack in it ...couldn't find one in a size that would fit so went to the local glass place and had a simple one cut and got the edges beveled - looks fab but was a royal pain to get installed.. Apparently there was a knot in the wood right where we needed a key screw to go... no bueno!

Last but not least... the hubby had "closet envy" after I had my closet done so Adam did his this time... what a difference it made! He can fit tons of stuff in there and it's all organized!
We also had a shelf installed in the cabinet over the larger closet to hold the hubby's Dish receiver...that ended up making that large but oddly shaped closed much more functional as well...I ended up with a shelf on top of the Dish receiver for storage and a space on the side for taller storage...perfect! All of the closets/shelves are oak stained to match the original cabinets!

Oops.. not quite last... I finally got the trim fixed on the propane tank cover -- the old trim was a mess and I've been trying to get that fixed since we got it. I know...poor Steylla is dirty -- we ran out time to wash her today but will soon!
Oh... and we installed a fabric accordion door that we made...thanks to everyone on the forum who posted directions and pics! It was my first attempt and I was re-learning how to sew so we made some mistakes but it looks so much better than the old faux wood door (it had faded to an odd greenish fake oak color)...the color washed out with the flash - it's a med. brown faux silk shantung and the reverse is a spice faux shantung (used Target curtains). It's a little saggy as we have temporarily misplaced the rest of the little hooks that the rings go into but we think they're up at Avalon RV (our renovation guy) so will correct that soon...it's totally functional however!

I hope you like the pics! Almost all the work on our AS has been done by Adam at Avalon RV in Benecia, CA ...we love him....high quality, detail oriented, fun to work with...he's a little slammed right now but he's worth the wait!
Next up... new fridge panels (stamped stainless) -- those are being fabricated now ... later in the Fall we plan on replacing the click plank flooring that we have that's an oak pattern with Marmoleum in Shitake...I think that will set off all of our wood much better! These things are addictive... I'm already looking for Trailer #2!!!

What is your source for the stamped stainless?

We didn't purchase the materials - Avalon RV did but try rigidized.com.
