Camper Makeover: Outside

Last year we purchased a place at the beach.   We used to have a cottage on Cape Cod when we lived in Connecticut and after we moved we missed having a place at the beach.
I am always up for a new adventure so we went a different direction this time.
We used to have a 500 sq. ft. 2 bedroom cottage 1/10 of a mile to the beach. 
Now we have a 32' camper a block from the beach but right on the bay. This is the view right out our door.  It is breathtaking at sunrise and sunset!


It needs a little work but it is perfect for our needs.


I wish I had more before pics.  I am the worst at remembering the before shots.
The wallpaper was horrible, the place was filthy, and there is a leak in the roof somewhere. Oh, and the refrigerator broke this winter sometime.
The GOOD news is that is is the perfect location, and our family fits in it.
We love the beach here and we love that we are so close to Beaufort, NC.  
I guess I should tell you our camper is in Atlantic Beach, NC.

We are working on the camper little by little, making improvements. We painted over the hideous wallpaper in white and barely grey.  We addend a new shower curtain in the bathroom, too.  I will post those pics soon.
This weekend we worked on the outside. A good scrubbing, a new paver patio, and some solar lights surrounded by white stone and some concrete edging I got off a but,sell,trade site near me for a BARGAIN!

Slowly but surely, it is getting cuter.
Next I am making new curtains.  I think the inside colors will be navy and aqua.
I am trying to decide if I will paint the outside too.

I will keep you posted about my progress. More pics to follow.  I am creating a board on Pintrest all about campers.
