My 'new' caravan arrives tomorrow! Does anyone want to help plan it?

[KatyMac]

Straight to the workshop 😔

But that gives me time to plan it's inside

It is dual purpose, shop and living for marketa and festivals

So I need to keep the weight down to allow for stock but I'm a bit disabled so I need to think about ease of use as well as storage - so it'll be no problem sorting it all out 🙄

I'm prioritising these jobs first:

1. Check everything
2. Seal or replace the roof vent
3. Fix puncture/check ages of tyres (3)
4. Fix lighting
5. Fix battery/inverters/sockets/Hook up
6. Lock on the door

And I need to start thinking about my bed - maybe a murphy bed or something that folds up? Any ideas

My brother suggested a bench to sleep on with a section that lifts up for a small toilet.....hopefully at the foot end of my bed and only for emergencies!

So excited!

I love that colour but hopefully it will turn out more to your liking when it is out of the workshop.

Looking good!

My bike rack!!

Definitely purple

Love the bike rack and that colour is just glorious. I’m quite jealous.

Maybe Sunday

I love the purple and bike rack too!

Fingers crossed that it all goes according to plan. Then I guess you have to fit it out.

Well it needs painting inside

But I have the mattress and I can make the soft furnishings
Got a step
Need a new (to me) duvet cover

Have a mini cooker and kettle and toaster

Have a mirror and a non breakable ornament

What else do I need?

It's not ready so I am sat in the shade

It's hone

I'm knackered

I drove half the night

So excited!

Glad you got home safely. It looks lovely inside.

I’m assuming you’ve got suitable pots, crockery and cutlery.

Do you have bunting? Maybe in the purple,white and green?

Business signs?

Green purple and lilac bunting, lilac paint

Retro china collecting cutlery next week, cant have a cooker inside cos of insurance so Ill take a mini ring in the car

Need a portapotty

Halfway through the awning.....

Business signs already I use already in the gazebo

You’re a woman after my own heart 💜. That’s exactly what I would choose.

Managed to find someone to lay the floor

Might launch it on 7th/8th August

Got to paint it next

Wahey!!! Things are getting there now.

What colour are you going to paint inside?

Where will you be taking her first?

Either violet white or lilac white (or possible both) i picked up 2 half tins on facebook marketplace but I haven't checked the colour/brand - if they are different I guess I'll mix them if they are the same brand.....or paint side walls one colour and end walls and ceiling the other

If you message me I'll tell you

I am wavering between lilac and white pastel curtains (alongside the hydrangea fabric) or some purple and jade seersucker

I love the strong colours but I think the pastel is more wedding-y

Both violet white

Not sure if I'll mix them tbh as they seem similar (dulux, walls and ceiling, silk) but im not sure

I think having the lighter colours inside would be great against the bright colour outside.
Maybe try a bit of each next to each other on a scrap to see if they are similar to each other when dry. If they are similar then you can just paint as normal and if they are very different then maybe mix them.

I would love to see the hydrangea fabric.

Will DM you 🙂

Can you see if ok here or shall I re-photo it?

This is my mattress but if I go pastel I'll cover it

It's not like I am short of fabric!

I think I'll start with the smaller amount and paint the side by the double doors then use the other paint on the opposite walls and ceiling - the light will make them look different anyway

That hydrangea fabric just made me go all unnecessary, love it 😍

Love the subtle colour stripe in the mattress 😀

Sounds like a good plan with the paint.

I did reply btw

I have a floor now!!

OMG! That’s lush!! It’s coming together slowly but surely.

& I bought a purple potty!

Hahahaha! That’s brilliant. Nothing like going for a theme. Puts my grey one to shame 😀
