A little bath. A little color. A little more waiting. A little progress.

A whole month has passed since our last update. We've given the sweet little camper a bath.

The pink suds were definitely the highlight of this task. It just made me so happy! It was seriously like the first sun-shining day and we embraced the sign of spring to get our "clean" on as we wanted to get some paint on the little vintage camper to make it a little more glamp-ourous.

As I've mentioned before, it's really great to be married to an artist. Sweet hubby tackles these types of tasks with such ease! He didn't even mind that I stood over him and captured his progress for the blog! Thanks sweetie!

And, drum roll please...................we started to spray! By we I totally mean sweet hubby. Though I did stand over him and watch, and take a picture. And, I helped pick out the paint color. So, the color....

We were torn on the color. My original thought was making this camper a pale yellow--hence the original nod to little miss sunshine. But, we ended going with a turquoise/aqua/teal color that we like. Once we started spraying, we really thought the color looked pretty cool. It's called Sea Side by Rustoleum. It has a fun, beachy vintage camper vibe that make us smile. It reminds me of the color of Scooby Doo's collar. Yep, I'm a geek. I seriously just made that point of distinction. Perhaps we'll call the camper Scoob. ZOINKS! Ok, back to the color. . . 

As the first coat started to go on, it just started making our pinterest project feel much more fun. 

1st coat applied! Way to go, sweetie! It looks great! We stopped to snap a picture of the artist.

We think it kind of matches our vintage boat that we got last year. two years ago. Thanks for clarifying, sweetie. Anyway, we named our boat, Newman. He is a 1969 Newman. We got him before Pinterest inspired us to show some TLC to a 67 camper. Who knew we had such a heart for sixties fun? Guess we're groovy, man. 

Anyway.....back to the camper.....

Covering the bumper made a huge impact. Seriously, is this thing getting cute, or what? We're excited to spray the stripe (I think we're going with a dark grey, though I'm growing fond of the original color of the stripe that seems to have this funky brown, green, sparkle thing going on....) and spray the white to cover up some of the wear and tear of years gone by.

A few days after we finished spraying, we took the camper to another RV "fix it" shop in town. Seriously, who knew we had two? To make a long story short: They listened a little better. But, were very slow in their response and time on task. Like crazy slow. Like, do you remember that you are still working on our camper kind of slow!??!? We had to call a few times to check in. They checked the internal wiring to make sure the original wiring was safe, and it got a thumbs up. They fixed the back window and resealed it. Thumbs up. They really liked the color. Thumbs up. 

While we waited for the camper to return--a total of three long weeks--I found this and couldn't resist.

Our project is definitely starting to become a cute little glamper. And, I'm having fun picking out things to make it even more glamper-ous. Thank you, Pinterest, for the inspiration. I knew this was a good idea. Thank you Hubby for making this become a reality. I actually might want to spend the night in this thing. Eventually.
