The Great Reveal!


I dropped a hint or two about a little remodeling plan we had for the Beast.  After looking and not really finding a new coach we really loved, we decided that we loved out Beast, it's got good bones and a good (knock on wood!) engine and is generally reliable.

So we did a little refreshing and upgrading.  So what did we do?
The furniture, shades and valances were ordered by Countryside Interiors.  They were nice, but nothing was ready when we arrived for our scheduled date.  I love the end result, so a little waiting was worth it and small potatoes in the big scheme of things.  The residential fridge, new dining lighting and faucet was done by Oregon Motorcoach Center.  They are an organized, clean facility with a real nice waiting room.  Definitely recommended!

  2. Nice renos ... we want to replace the headboard ... nice to see that a wood headboard is possible ... although ours would need to be cherry to match our cabinets.

  3. Nice upgrade, Cheryl! Your RV looks so homey. Well, I guess you have to make it as cozy as possible, given that’s it’s your home on the road. Anyway, installing a skylight is good idea, since that will help you save up some energy during the day. Good luck on your travels, and take care!
