A spring project ~

I trust everyone had a wonderful Easter ~ Mr. Vintage bought me something for Easter ~ giggle


You betcha ~ a vintage camper.  This poor neglected camper needs a little TLC










Yes, this little camper came complete with garbage and beer bottles.  We have been working on our little piece of heaven on and off during the weekend.  Mr. Vintage and I love restoring old and making them new.  I can hardly wait!



Can I go camping too Mommy?
Yes, Mindy you can go too. ;-)

What is your favourite thing to restore, renew, regenerate?

Hope you have a great day ~

(((Hugs)))

  2. Marianne, This looks lke a fun project.. not the cleaning out the garbage part, but the decorating part. Oh, is that a harvest gold stove and sink?
    Hope you had a great Easter,

  3. oh you are so lucky I have been trying to convince my Mr Wonderful that this is something we should do. I want one! He is not sure we need one. I want a nice vintage small one. Enjoy it!

  4. No, no, no.....your killing me! I want one sooooooo bad! I was just on the web last night looking for one.....I had bought one a couple of years ago, but it needed a complete redo and hubby just didn't have the time to put into it....so we let it go. We want to find one with good bones, just needs some TLC like yours........yours looks great! I want to plant mine here on the property and use it as a guest cottage.

  5. So jealous I wish comment fonts came in GREEN. Love Mindy's pleading to come too. This is our dream as well... all those years we dreaded travel with our human kids now we're scheming of ways to get out and about and take the fur babies along. GREAT Easter gift!

  12. What fun you will have with that! My sister got an old tear drop trailer and fixed it all up Western style! I've done projects like this in the past...not much now though! Can't wait to see what you do and how you decorate it! ♥

  14. Now that's is a wonderful gift!!
    Can't wait to see more!
    Our first camper was a 78 nomad...my honey did it over on less than a shoestring budget. It was adorable. Now I have a 38' Sandpiper and would love to have an oldie but goodie!!

Mine has a new blog - come to read about it on my blog and you can follow our progress. We have quite a bit of work to do on mine but the work is in progress. We've started repairing - and ripping things out! Please let us see what you're doing with yours - I can't wait to see it!

  22. Oh you lucky ducky! I have been looking for something just like this. There was a little camper in town on the corner for sale but it was in such sorry shape I did not think it would ever get road ready. Yours look like it just needs a little tender loving care how fun it will be to get it ready for it first outing!

  23. Looks like a great project.I am from NC & just purchased my 1st vintage travel trailer. It's a 1962 scotty sportsman....I'm having a blast redoing it. I would love to see yours finished.Looks great.Never in a million years did I ever think I would be doing a project like this,but this little camper was offered to me at a great price & about to be a empty nester myself,I decided what the heck..I'm doing it really retro inside .Never thought I would have so much fun...Best of luck to you ,Kim D
