Lightweight Rustic Wood RV Walls

*Thank you to Stikwood for sponsoring this post!* I'm so excited to finally be at this point in the RV remodel! This entire time I have been schlepping away at this remodel....painting cabinets, painting walls, and painting countertops, and that whole time all I wanted to do was get to the part where Adam and I got to install the rustic wood walls.  I knew it would be my favorite part, and I am not disappointed. Just look at the difference! Bedroom before (WAY before) - Bedroom, …

Painting Laminate Countertops with Chalkboard Paint

Adam and I considered lots of different things for the laminate countertops in the RV (we were this close to skimming it with concrete). It's a tiny amount of surface space, so we could pretty much do anything without it being expensive. In the end we decided just to paint them, since neither of us wanted to put in the time or effort to rip out and replace the counters (or risk the concrete layer cracking and flaking off). There are a ton of kits and products out there for painting countertops, …

2018 Review and 2019 Goals

Last year around this time I wrote about our home goals for 2018. Now that 2018 is over, I thought we should take a look and see how we did! Here was my list for the 2018 projects that I wanted to get finished. Mudroom The mudroom was #1 on my list, since I felt like finishing this would go a long way in making our house more organized and functional. The good news is that we finished it, and I was right. It's crazy functional. We are so organized now that we can leave the house without …

DIY Electric Fireplace

So I know we said the bedroom was finished, but that was a lie. We still needed to add wood flooring and a fireplace, but neither one was going to happen for a few years (since my four sons are now eating our house projects budget. Literally eating it...they never stop eating. I'm screwed when they're teenagers.) Adam and I found a way to add a fireplace and not break the bank though, and now this exists in our bedroom... I'm so glad we didn't wait, because having a fireplace in …

How to Build a TV Frame

Today I have a very simple and practical project for you. It's something that you 100% can do yourself....even if you are new to DIY and your tool collection is nearly nonexistent. Why would you want to frame your TV? Well because of this... This giant gap full of cords isn't exactly the prettiest sight, and I'm going to assume that if you have a flatscreen TV hung on the wall then you have the same issue. Fortunately there is a simple solution, and it only requires is a few …

Painting RV Walls (it’s actually really easy!)

When Adam and I first started planning the RV remodel I was very against painting the walls. For some reason, I thought they would be a giant pain and require lots of prep, plus the spongy brown was fairly neutral and inoffensive. In hindsight, that was stupid. Adam told me that was stupid, and he was right. It hurts just to admit it, but he was. We painted the walls, it was super easy (unlike the cabinets) and it looks so much better. It looks less like an outdated travel trailer and more …

Weekend Sales and My Favorite Amazon Tip

I wasn't planning to write a post about the sales this weekend, but I've been poking around the web for deals so I figured why the heck not. There are some great ones to be had, and I feel like everyone has one big item they hold out buying until Black Friday. This year we're buying a soundbar....two actually. We chose this one, which is currently on sale for $98 from Walmart and is rated the best soundbar under $500. Also, Saturday is small business Saturday! If you have a business please …

That Time We Went To Costa Rica

Well, I just finished up the master bedroom (if you missed the reveal you can see it here) and am about to dive back into the RV remodel, but in the meantime I thought I'd write a quick post about our recent trip to Costa Rica. We went last month, and it was amazing. Adam and I would love to travel more, but at this stage in life it isn't easy. Asking someone to watch four young boys for a week is a lot, and I'd rather not do that to someone. But when Adam's mom asked us earlier this year …

Bed Shopping on a Budget

I've been bed shopping lately. "Lately" being a relative term, because it feels like much, much longer than that. It started off innocently enough, with Adam and I on our floor mattress, dreaming about what bed would be the one to finally lift us up off the concrete. Our bedroom is rustic and fairly masculine, and it has all the traditional elements you need for a great room - wood, stone, metal, white, some color, and plants. The only thing it was missing was leather. A leather bed would be …
