Wow, you really did a great job on that, love the color's that you brought into the camper. I especially like the kitchen, definitely a class act! If you wanna give a 5th a shot, I'm just down here in NY!

Lady W,

Great upgrades... You do good with colors... All of my color schemes are usually black and military gray haha...

Got a question - I love the hanging glasses rack. Have you ever done this before. I am thinking all of that will have to come down when you are in motor mode...

That certainly caught my eye as a good thing to do. Might try that in our kitchen...

Great job...I want to come stay with you guys It is like Home Makeover: RV Edition...

How much of that are you able to leave up when you travel? I have a couple of things hanging, but pull them down when we move. Have you had good luck with yours?

The hanging glass racks are from LEE Valley Tools.. found online..

http://www.leevalley.com/US/hardware...=3,40914,41358

They carry different styles but I like these ones because they are lightweight, inexpensive and can be closed at the end for travel.



The glasses are acrylic.. non breakable.., and I used a ladies pony tail holder around the end of each wine glass rack to keep them secure when travelling.

here are a couple of photos of the glasses up close..

Yours looks better then ours, which has the "Crab theme", which is still a bit spartan!

I leave almost everything hanging during travel.. I have hung the art with 3M command strips picture hanging tabs.., plus metal hooks., plus mounting tape.. so they do not move.
http://www.command.com/wps/portal/3M...cture-Hanging/

My mom told me to put silicone under the canisters, then place them on plastic wrap over night, then peel off the plastic wrap.. this provides a non skid surface and they stay in place.. in theory.. but I don't want to clean that up if she is wrong.. so I put the canisters in the sink..
-the candles travel in the ottomans, and the glass teapot goes in a drawer, wrapped in a towel.. the rest stays out.

Lady Wendolyn,

OMG! I absolutely love it!! Not only are the colors beautiful, but you have some crazy useful ideas that I must steal! And best of all, these are mods that I can actually understand!!
Also, how heavy is that towel rack in the bathroom? My hubby is afraid to hang anything too heavy.

The towel rack is not super light.. But the rest of my rv stuff is, so it's a compromise. There is a stud that runs up the center of the wall where I hung it, so it is right into wood. However if you want a lighter one.. They are available and they weigh next to nothing.. Here is an example..

We have our wine glasses in a rack as shown by Lagy G, but my DW made covers for the glasses so we don't have to store them while on the road- She is into all sorts of crafts and knitted the covers- Just an idea? DD

The DW and I love what you have done with our trailer; I say "our" because we have the identical trailer so it was really exciting to see your before and after photos... only bummer is we still have the 'before' trailer :-(

You have definately given us some great ideas of how to make our trailer more like home! thanks for setting up that blog, we'll be checking in from time to time!

Thanks all of you for the encouragement... I am happy to inspire you to greater heights of enjoying your Jayco's.. thats why we are here

Lady your trailer looks nice, better than the ones in the showrooms. I'm curious where you found a Camping World in Manitoba? Did you have them deliver? We still have some bare walls, aside from one that a mertyle wood clock hangs on, bought in Oregon. We are spending June and July in northern California and hopefully that trip will produce something for the walls in need. I like the idea of family photos from previous adventures. Thank-you.

Camping World does deliver to Canada, but the charges are outrageous.
We live an hour from the USA border and so I have everything delivered to a parcel pickup place there that charges $5.00 per parcel. This has saved us tons of money...
