Another RV Project

We just can't seem to leave JohnnyDisco alone.  

You'd think after reno-ing 8 houses over 15 years I'd be totally sick of it by now.  But noooooo.  Once a reno-er, always a reno-er.  And that's not the worst of it.  

I've passed this special sickness on to My Fella.  

But he's turning into quite the handyman.  Since graduating from the The Radio Girl School of Renovation, my guy can frequently be seen pacing our teeny 340 square foot living space - cordless drill in one hand, orange hammer in the other, looking for stuff to switch/change/violate/modify/fix.

So together we reno.  

Our latest RV project involves replacing the hideous window treatments, standard in most new motorhomes and trailers.  JohnnyDisco has a lot of windows and every single one of them is covered by an upholstered boxy thing that is supposed to hide the rolling blinds, but would really be more at home on the headboard of a bed.  A super ugly bed.  

Today My Fella took down the first padded window thingy and removed both the white blackout shade and the black sunshade from underneath.  

We're keeping the sunshades so after measuring the window area, he drilled new holes and replaced it on the wall.

Over the next few days we'll scour the city for a lightweight curtain rod and some swanky curtains to match the rest of our decor.  And turn JohnnyDisco into more of a home.      

Removing the heavy padded window treatments will also give us another 8 inches of width in JohnnyDisco.  

And apparently every inch helps.

Note to all you recyling freaks out there:  we're a very green, eco-friendly couple.  While we had to toss out the padded window thingys (seriously, who the heck would want them!!) we will offer the basically brand new blackout shades to My Fellas folks, or anyone else who may be able to use them in their motorhome.

The more you modify JohnnyDisco the more it becomes your home!

We will take them if they will fit.

Mavey - can't remember the dimensions of your unit, but some of shades should fit nicely. I've wrapped them in plastic so they stay shiny clean and we'll bring them home with us in March.

Why aren't you blogging anymore?
