Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Our Pop – Up Camper

June 15, 2017 Uncategorized

Hello Friends! I have been waiting to share our pop – up camper with you for a while now and finally have it ready to share! You may have seen my original post here when I shared our camper for the first time with some updates as well.

Since then I traded out some curtains, bedding (which was provided by Beddy’s and we installed some simple click n lay laminate floors.

Beddy’s bedding makes it on to every bed we have in our home or on wheels ;). I know it is no secret we love this bedding… But believe or not it is seriously a dream for campers! There is obviously very little wiggle room in this tiny space so having this bedding that zips up and requires no folding, tucking etc.. is extremely convenient.

Though I usually pick white bedding, I was excited to use this fun Checked Out print and layer it with their  Spotted Blanket and was confident it would help hide the fun of camping (aka dirt) a little better than white in a trailer ;)…

Here are the floors close up. Overall, it was an easy install… the hubby did a great job and there were a few tricky spots he worked through and in the end I was amazed how it changed the space.

I considered doing some painted and stenciled floors (which would have worked well), but also liked the idea of wood tones too over the old laminate.

Faux and easy accessories can transport easy but make it feel like home away from home.

The comforts of coffee, soft lighting and more are feasible with little pop- ups and I am so happy for it! Camping is not my strength but having a little spot like this makes it a win for everyone.

I couldn’t resist a fern and some boho-chic decor touches either. Now clearly I wouldn’t pack this on a legit camping trip, lol. When you are parked in your driveway though it doesn’t hurt to accessorize a little =)!

Though I did paint the cabinets a couple years back they are in need of a touch up, which will happen some time later this summer. Time to play first!

I haven’t actually cooked a real meal inside of here yet and maybe I never will ;), we have a perfect camping barbecue that makes all the meal making simple.

Wish me luck as we will be planning a few stays in here this summer! I’ll let you know how it goes. I really enjoyed putting this post together as it was such a reminder of how even the smallest of spaces, rooms, homes, etc… can be big in the “style” department. And more than that, I just know we are going to have some sweet memories in this traveling vacation “home” and that is what matters the most. All the laughs, games, camp fires, (small grumbles from me when I can’t handle “camp”, ha!) and adventures make this little gem of ours. It applies to any place you are together and putting your love into it.

Thanks so much for visiting with me today! I’ll see you later tonight at The Inspiration Gallery!

A big thank you to Beddy’s for sending us their bedding and all opinions are 100% my own.

      Hi Linda,
      I will double check on the name – but it was the gray tone from our local Costco. I said the same thing about having it all throughout the house – wishful thinking I suppose ;)… Thanks so much!

    Hands down the coolest pop up I’ve ever seen! We had a small pop up years ago, then a travel trailer, then back to a pop up with a slide, bathroom (with shower, sink, toilet), cooktop, oven, microwave, fridge…basically the works for a pop up, but ours is your basic without any painting of cabinets like yours or new flooring. I’m going to check out Beddy’s for sheets, etc. Thank you for the inspiration. You did a fabulous job!

    Hi! Love the pop up makeover!!! I have a pop up as well and we did a redo on it as well with hardwood floors, gray slipcovers for all the cushions, curtains from shower curtains and painted white cabinets and replaced counters with wood. I would love to get this beddy for our camper…what size is your bed and what size beddy did you get? Also, did you paint the ceiling etc? Looks so fresh and clean!! Love!!!

      Hi Angie! These were full size and then we have blow up mattress on top of the thinner mattress pads that come with the camper. It was pretty bright out when I photographed and things have faded a bit (but the colors are gray inside). Thank you so so much – I really appreciate your words and enjoy that beautiful camper of yours! Sounds just lovely!

    I love what you have done with your pop up! We have a pop up that we want to update. Are your cupboards real wood or MDF? Ours are MDF and I’m just wondering what it would take to paint them. Any tips would be much appreciated! Did you just put covers on the normal seating cushions or did you get something custom? Thanks for the inspiration

      Hi Dianna,
      thank you so much I appreciate it! We just painted over straight over our MDF (with something that had mold/moisture resistance) but there is definitely some chipping that I will need to fix up this summer. That being said, I would think Chalk paint would work even better – although I need to look into the moisture issues and chalk paint. I’ll keep you updated as we fix up the paint this summer! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I am very interested in doing a similar project like this for an extra guest space, since we have an RV pad. Did you have to do any repairs to the tent trailer prior to the interior upgrade? Did you repaint the exterior as well? Are there any pictures? What was your total cost on this?

    Just adore this space… we are new to camping… just bought a “fixer-upper” and dreaming of color schemes… yours is going to be imitated… hope you don’t mind. It seems so relaxing with the Black and white with tan… Thanks for the inspiration (and I am dreaming of how the look can change easily for autumn, winter, spring, *Christmas-time* etc… just add one more bold color and the whole thing is NEW!

    Thanks for the info about Beddy’s. I just purchased a couple for our motorhome that has 2 sofas that become beds. This is soooo easy, we just keep them on and decorate with pillows during the day when the bedroom becomes the parlor. Got the nautical navy and added some nautical themed pillows. The bedding is so soft and cozy too.

    Hi. Thanks so much for the inspirational pictures. Are you using a special track to hang your curtains? I will be hanging an insulated privacy curtain between the cab and living area and dont want any light to show through. That way if Im parked at night on the street, no one will know I am inside. Thanks!
