The bedroom!

Im starting with the bedroom because it is finished! The first room to be completely done- Hallelujah! 
Things I Completed: 
•New Paint on the walls! 
•Painted cabinets (antique finish) 
•Reupholstered Headboard 
•New bedding 
•Reupholstered window treatments 
•Painted hardware

Let me tell you, I've never come across a more challenging paint job than that of a camper bedroom. The small spaces, avoiding the carpet (and myself for that matter), and all of the lovely decisions of what paint for where. First off- I went with Pittsburg paint for the walls. A lovely "Bermuda"-similar to a light teal, for the walls, a less vibrant color for the headboard wall-"steeple gray", and the cabinets got a couple coats of "Antique white" with a rub down of Olympic's "Dark Walnut" stain (which I got for free with my purchase of paint! I went with an interior finish called eggshell. From info I got from the sales lady, eggshell is a medium between flat and semi-gloss. Lucky for me I have a man that LOVES flashy things like I do, so the bright color on the walls was not an issue; in fact, he loved it! 
The fabric I used for upholstering I got from Hancock's Fabrics over a year ago. It's a super cute Southwestern print of red, turquoise, and off white-so it went PERFECT! Money saved, not spent! 
The bedding came from Bed Bath &Beyond on sale! 
Here's what our bedroom looked like before-your standard Rv bedroom. 
I know, not so cute, right? 
Here's what it looks like now  
This is WAY more our style. 
Excuse our air conditioning unit-it gets HOT in this west Texas heat during the day and this little booger helps a lot! In this picture you can see the "Bermuda" paint color, the cabinet finish, and my lovely little art project- a cross with an Indian chief in the middle. Underneath each window is a boot rack-storage saving ideas! We both have a boot fetish. 
Here's the adjacent window, with a skull clock to complete our decor 😊
Finally, here's a pano of our completed bedroom. It's small, so bear with me. Also, we live in it so it is a little disheveled. 
All in all, I'm so happy with the finished project! It was WELL worth the hard work so be able to go to sleep and wake up in a much more inviting room! 
Thanks y'all! 
Peace💚&the Pipeline Life
