Let the work begin

After purchasing our 2004 Weekend Warrior toy hauler from a private party for $ 9000 we pretty much rolled up our sleeves and went to work right away, starting the renovation process. We were eager to make it our own.

Not a weekend went by, that we didn't spend working.

 Don't get me wrong. There was really nothing wrong with the interior.  The previous owners had taken care of it very well over the years.  It showed little wear and tear and was clean. It was also VERY beige with speckled walls. Like someone had thrown up beige, over and over again. And the old fashioned swivel chairs absolutely had to GO! There was no way we could see ourselves living in it "as is"!

We started our major undertaking by removing all closet and cabinet doors to prepare them for what came next: Paint. And I mean there was not an inch we didn't paint in our future tiny home

Because we are frugal people, we based a lot of our design on what we could find for a fraction of the cost from places like Goodwill, Arc, Restore, IKEA's last chance room and the return paint area at Lowes, where we purchased most of our paint. Looking back it seemed like we painted the beige monster forever!
