Cabinet plans

The cabinets are actually pretty nice. I'm planning on darkening them in the main area of the trailer with a medium stain color. I have an artist friend who is certified to use a product called Faux Effects, that goes right over the top of the finished wood and makes it look marvelous! sandragilbertart.com I'll post the 'after' pics when we get to it.
The walls are going to be painted right over the wallpaper. I'll paint with Kilz first, then I'm thinking I'll use a nice Stratacaster blue on the walls.
Or Chevy blue, if you prefer.

Starting the project

My family loves to camp. We set up big canvas wall tents, cooking tents, latrine tents, shade tents, you name it, we've got it covered! All that setting up takes time and energy. I'm done with all that! I want to hook up my "new" trailer and head for the hills, with as little prep as possible.
Having said that, I'm planning on spending the summer transforming my serviceable, yet boring bumper pull into glam on wheels.
It's in really great condition, so I don't have to tear out anything. I just want to make it an amazing place to hang out in, regardless of where I am.
