I learn in the pop-up camper forums and blogs that changes made to campers are called mods, short for modifications. And this week, I pulled together the things I have been collecting for my own camper mods, which are mostly cosmetic. I photographed everything I have so far then placed the supplies into a large flex tub. Unfortunately, the computer won’t read my camera card reader so photos are forthcoming once I figure out what is going on.
Over the winter I thought a great deal about the colors and theme that I want for the inside decor. I have been collecting ideas on Pinterest (user name Tango Willis) and decided on a vintage, girly theme. My camper is, after all, a woman cave so it needs to be vastly different from a man cave. The color palette includes pink, pink, pink, pink, along with white blue, tan, ivory. I am guessing that not many guys would want to travel with me, but, oh well, I say. This is a woman cave and will look like one.
So, my list of supplies includes:
- 4 yards pink striped fabric
- 2 yards pink polka dot fabric
- fat quarters of vintage fabrics
- 1 yard vintage feed sack fabric, pink flowers
- 1 yard burlap
- 4 yards blue striped homespun fabric
- trims: rick-rack, tea-dyed lace, felt flowers, buttons, beads
- vintage stuff: table clothes, doilies
- pillow forms
- 4.5 yards Melton wool, tan
- assorted yarn and felt
- new curtain hardware
I acquired these items over the last few months from Ebay, Amazon, Fabric.com, craft stores and thrift stores.
As for practical items, I also purchased a memory foam topper for one of the beds, a water supply hose for use with drinking water, and a rechargeable vacuum to keep things cleaner. I have lots of little things ready too like non-breakable dishes, tools, etc.
Here are some photos from Pinterest which give a general idea of where I am headed.
The slip covers are coming soon! I was hoping to open up the camper today and get out the cushions, but he wind has returned!
Wow! “Woman Cave”, how cool is that? Can’t wait to see the pictures when it’s finished. Grrrr.
thanks! should be really fun!
