Our weekend in Rock Island was our third 'real' camping trip in Annie Lee and I enjoy it more each
time... partly because we're continuing to organize and arrange things
to meet our needs...
Here's a couple of changes we've made since last month -
We
painted the fridge yellow to match the stove and counter top. I realize
it's not for everyone...but I LOVE IT. Future plans are to replace the
top piece so we can add magnets to it like a 'real' fridge. ha.
We [and by 'we' I mean Craig] also added shelves in the pantry and with a little help from Matt we got the microwave in... Again, LOVE IT. It's so nice having some real storage for these appliance we use every single time we camp.

Also, our 'food box' sets to the left above the tire well -
When we camp we tend to keep the food we bring along in one easy to access box so I love that it has a place to be tucked out of site, much like we had in a couple of other campers pre-LottieScotty. Right now we're using the existing shelves for our salt /pepper, spray oil, ziplocks, my sodas [I prefer at room -temp - y'all know I'm weird,] and bug spray easy to access...
And I'm not sure if I've shared these photos of the living area with the TV installed -
The
yellow chair is handy as a foot rest and when we dine inside... and the
rug came from a seconds store [$12] a few months back. In fact, I took
it with me the last time I traveled for work and painted most of the pink flowers
golden yellow in my hotel room after work each night.
Again, I know it's not for everyone -
but I love to mix patterns!
We created a bit of art work to cover the TV when not in use -
It also protects it when we are traveling...
Our
'to-do' list is still long and grows / changes a bit each time we camp
because we're adapting ideas to fit our needs... someone was talking
this weekend about the desire to get a vintage camper but wasn't sure if
they could handle all the restoring / changing -
and we both said the secret [for us] is to get one that doesn't need a lot of work -
We also agree that it's best to get one you can camp in as you continue to work out the changes and updates to fit your needs.
Whatever - just get one!
New or old - ha.
It's wonderful way to get out and about
during these social-distancing times...
[PS - we are still so UNDECIDED as to what color we want o paint her...]
