This past summer, I took on a big project, buying a run down vintage camper and turning it into a mobile cupcake camper. I spent almost everyday, tearing it apart and making it purty for over a month. Unfortunately, my plans to sell cupcakes out of it all summer were halted when my step-dad had a seizure while hooking up the camper to the truck early the morning of my business debut. He was hospitalized for a couple weeks and in the end was okay, but this was followed by health issues of my own, so unfortunately business has been postponed until this next summer. I've just been doing private orders out of my home. Here are pictures of the restoration in the mean time though!
BEFORE PICTURES
My 1966 camper. Her name is Daisy.
Renovation Process
Painted everything white to make it feel more open and just used color to accent.
This is the original stove, the sink is the same color, they were one of the selling factors for me!
The fabric I used to make curtains and to cover the couch cushions.
I painted the kitchen drawers yellow to accent against the white!
The finished curtains I made and the new hardware I put on the cabinets!
After Pictures
I kept the chrome original, it still needs to be polished though! I painted the bottom half teal and the door red-ish orange (was supposed to just red, so I will probably repaint it this summer).
This is the living room nook. I recovered the couch in new fabric, added some pillows, artwork, and a blanket from the thrift store and voila!
This is the kitchen nook, you can see the drawers I painted yellow, along with a new rug, and some kitchen knick knacks!
This was the rough draft of what i wanted the logo and business card to look like.
My talented friend, Erin Rodriguez turned it into the graphic for my business card and stamp below!
I had so much fun gutting the camper and making it pretty! I can't wait for summer to be here!
