the hard work continues

So, it's looking pretty awesome in the ol' vintage camper if I do say so myself. You can see that the wainscoting is in. And, today sweet hubby and my wonderfully talented in-laws completed the daunting task of matching the floral patterned HGTV wallpaper. They made it look easy but I'm sure that the challenge was compounded by the 90 degree weather inside this little gem of a trailer.

Sweet hubby has spent his first two days of summer vacation working like a dog. And, his parents have joined him every step of the way! So very kind!

 

I am very thankful to have my husband and in-laws working on my "hobby" while I'm away at work. This project will be complete before too long! Next up, tackling the new foam and fabric!

Earlier this week, we spent hours at Jo-Ann Fabric purchasing new foam and fabric for the cushions. It was quite a costly adventure but we were thankful to make the purchase during a 50% off sale, and receive an extra discount since sweet hubby is a teacher!

We relied heavily on the expertise of my MIL. She makes daunting projects like this seem within reach. She spent so much time with us at the fabric store that she joked we were going to have to invite this employee over for Christmas dinner. Or, at least camping! :) She recommended that we wrap the 5 inch foam in extra batting; should be extra comfy for our first outing! 

A lot of progress has been made in a few weeks! As you can see below, it's really beginning to shape up nicely. I just love the new wallpaper.

I'm excited for the progress to continue this week. I think hubby should be able to begin the floor this week. And, soon those new cushions will be ready! We are getting so excited about our glamper! Even our little man has glamper-fever! Check out his project from this week!

He has big plans for our first night in the glamper, which will hopefully be soon! This has been a long time coming but we're thrilled with how things are turning out. Looking forward to adding the finishing touches within the next week or so and getting this vintage baby out on the road again!

Stay tuned!
