Our granddaughter is looking for a more inexpensive way to live and work in the future. We helped her get a 25' Aerolite travel trailer. She and I are in the process of redecorating to her taste.

We had some beige carpet in the attic that was not stretched tight enough in our last new RV we bought-- they couldn't re-stretch due to central heat floor register holes cut in the carpet-- so had to replace the carpet entirely. She and I cut it into "throw rugs" for her trailer and made it cozier.. Will help that "winter cold floor" discomfort and cost NOTHING!!

The following photos are the living room area... and show the blue curtains that are now in it. Her decorating theme is Zebra and Hot Pink. These blue curtains will eventually be dyed black, and have hot pink tie-backs. For now they'll stay the blue of the couch and dinette to blend better.

The hot pink fly-swatter came with the trailer... and think we'll find a less showy place for it.

The next photos are of the bathroom. She had a zebra shower curtain that was way too big for the RV shower, so I cut off some, and used that fabric to make Zebra Curtains and some hot pink fabric I had on hand to make tie backs.

Below is the bedroom curtain now.. Will be dyed black with hot pink tie backs and will buy a Zebra bed in a bag... when her funds allow.

Below are photos of the kitchen/dinette area. I really like the white appliances.

Plans are to reupholster the couch and dinette in the future.

Lamp she bought for $3 at a garage sale, ...spray painted black and will have a Zebra fabric covered lampshade on it.

We have found a really neat RV park for her to permanently live in. Lots of room.. lush mowed grass under far-reaching shady Live Oak trees... $300 monthly, including all utilities. She is so excited..and so is her grandmother!

Happy RVing Y'all!

How cute this is - and what fun for the two of you to work on it together. Is this the granddaughter that traveled with you so much?

That looks to be such great fun and it's nice to see some "color" inside an RV for a change. Good job, Grandma!

Did your granddaughter finish with her decorating and how is she getting along with her trailer? Friday I ate lunch with my friend and her office staff. One of the ladies was talking about her daughter moving out and wanting to decorate with the Zebra print. That must be the in thing with the young girls now.
