Everyone loves a good Before & After & believe me....our vintage trailer refurb of The Dazey will make you giggle....it's a totally different trailer! For the outside...check out my blog post HERE.
Now, when I took the Before pictures, I wasn't even thinking we'd buy this trailer. So my objective was simply to remind myself what this trailer looked like...& some of my concerns. But, the next thing I know we were driving away w/ her & I was knee deep in the refurb project...not even thinking about anymore Before pictures!
The dinette needed help. The whole thing was a bit broken, so Jeff ripped off the bottom & rebuilt the table...it has to fit perfectly since it folds right into the bed. We left the original formica top, but ripped off the cracking green trim & put aluminum on it instead. Looks so cute. *but I do love this cute retro tablecloth on it, too!**
OK>>>here's a bunch of my 'concerns' when I was taking pix...oy vey!
1. Before: the dark, dark wood!
2. Before:the roof had a bit of water damage & it was obvious we'd need to replace it.
3. Before:The inside of the fridge was in pretty good condish.
4. Before:Some of the dark wood was trashed...It's a trailer!
5. Before:Gross mattress & 'bunk bed' rail needed to come down. NOT cute to me! & that green padded board? I immediately saw it polkadot!
6. Before:See the floor? cleaned up it could have been cute, but that rust stain would NOT come off...so...my whole vision was about the checkerboard flooring.
7. Before:The inside of the closet was the dark wood...I knew it would be so much cuter turquoise!
8. Before:I ripped out the old stuff in the cabinets & lined it w/ black & white checkered contact paper...the drawers, too. So cute!
9. Before:The closet.
10. After:
See the polka dots? Turquoise? It was all in my vision!
11. Before: the Dinette was just dark & depressing to me...
12. After: bright & cheery w/ a coate of white paint on top, new curtains to let the light diffuse into the trailer, new ticking slipcovers & turquoise walls!
13. Before: kitchen area. That back splash formica was horrible. And so were all of the hangers! See the green edging on the counter?
14. After: replaced w/ aluminum strips, painted turquoise, white laminate on the back splash...yea. MUCH bette!
15. Before: Note the dark wood, fridge & floor?
16: After: painted turquoise wood, chalkboard contact paper & liquid chalk along w/ the black & white vinyl tile flooring.
17. Before: Stove area. I left the green stove...I incorporated it in my curtains & pillows. Plus: it was in really good condition. The fridge had some scratches on it, so
18: After: it was easy to just apply the chalkboard contact paper & have fun with it!
19. Before: Gross slipcovers, dark wood & dark floral curtains. *our daughter actually liked the floral curtains...but, it reminded me of too many 90's bridesmaid dresses! LOL!
20: After: New red & white ticking slipcovers, painted turquoise wood & white curtains that let diffused light in w/ cute ruffles. I love these curatins...so perfect for Dazey! and...accessories: pillows, buntings, globe, clocks, pictures.
21. Before: Again. more dark wood, floral curtains & the light. * original & I like it, actually, but wanted to add some *bling*
22. After: ainted white wood, white & ruffled curtains aaaand...the delightful 'removable' chandelier Jeff rigged up for me...THAT gives me my *bling* I was looking for!
So, there you have it! Dazey's makeover! Lovely, isn't she? Thanks for visiting and remember to...
