1967 diamond in the rough is what I have here. I am absolutely GIDDY to restore the trailer. I have big plans for it including white and black checkered linoleum, chalkboard paint, a white wash, red painted oven, texture and more texture, and a toys-camping-playing-vintage kind of theme. Here she is in all her glory.
Lots of potential, right? I just love the original vinyl in perfect condition, on the counters, table, and bathroom shower and sink. Crazy after 45 year there is still original details. The green room separator is great and the original magazine holder is still in the restroom. There are some details that absolutely have to go like the curtains!
The latest owners changed the couch seating area to a permanent bed. I am not sure what I want to do here yet. My husband wants to leave it and build a dresser/storage area at the foot. I would love it in its original loveliness with a couch though. But the bed is SUPER comfy and huge. Hmmmm. . . all the possibilities :)
I think I may paint him white with tan detail. Not sure yet. Primary colors with a vintage touch, is what I am invisioning for my beauty right now. But hey, it may change. When i made the inspiration board below, I hadnt thought of sharing it. If these are yours or you know whos there are let me know, so i can give proper credit where proper credit is due :)
I found this absolutely inspirational blog The Vintage Housewife. Miss Cat remodeled a 1953 trailer that is too die for. Of course pink from top to bottom, with the cutest vintage touches. I only dream, one day, I will have my own 50's rounded trailer to transform into pure vintage love. Drool over her trailer.
I have made one purchase for my happy camper
So what if its not truly vintage, it only cost $3.99 at WorkSports and its fully functional just in case.
