Well...the hallway is done! I painted the closet, wall and bathroom door. The sun is coming through the window but I think you can see most of it. I closed the bedroom door because it isn't as clean as it was in my previous picture :-) I didn't want you to see the mess. We did some changes in the hallway that I love! See the pictures below. We replaced the front of the refridgerator with a piece of metal (magnetic) and painted it with chalk paint. The verdict is still out on whether we like it. It makes a little bit of a mess with the chalk. The great thing...it can easily be changed if we don't like it. It looks cute though and that's all that matters right? The top picture is a before picture (farther away) and the bottom is what it looks like now. I love this! This is on the hallway wall by the bathroom. The tree was a pain in the $%#@# to put on the wall and it isn't perfect but I love it with the bible verse! So appropriate for a motorhome that is on the run! This is really cool! We have a lot of storage in the bedroom for clothes. This is also another closet in the hallway (that is why we love this motorhome...a lot of storage) so we decided to use half of it to make our own "pantry". We got these drawers from Lowes and my handy husband installed it. The other half we can still use to hang up our coats! Can't wait to use this!

So this is an area above the door going outside. We use to put movies here but I decided I wanted a wine rack there. I couldn't quite visualize it (which is usually the problem...I'm a visual person and have to actually see it). But then I was at Bed Bath and Beyond and I found this!!!! Now how cute is that!!! The only problem is, it is about 2 inches two long, 2 inches short on the width and the bottles won't fit in that space vertical. They have to be tilted on a 45 degree angle. So...my husband needs to cut the bottom off, find wood to put on the sides that match and then jerry-rig (is that how you spell it) the bottle holders to angle at a 45 degrees (so basically I don't think the metal will actually be connected to the wood anymore). He asked me how he was supposed to do that and I said I didn't know but I knew it was going to look fantastic when he got done with it. :-) I will post pictures when he gets it done...I know it will be incredible. Did I tell you how much he loves me and my great ideas!
Road Block #1: Well, I'm learning as we redo this motorhome. One, no one wants to replace carpet in a motorhome. They won't touch it with a 5 foot pole. I can find the carpet (because it isn't regular carpet, you use boat or car carpet) but I can't find anyone that will install it. So....we are going to clean it really well and see how it goes, as well as repair them and get creative with throw rugs. We are replacing 80% of it with hardwood floors but there are a few places I want to keep carpet (bedroom, slide out and under the driver & passenger seats). I figure eventually if I get tired of the carpet, I will search more or possibly find someone at an RV place that is willing to do it. Right now, I can't waste anymore time trying to figure it out. So it will do for now. I actually don't even think you will be able to tell but I still eventually want to get it replaced. Road Block #2: I hate our sink in our bathroom. It is plastic and the dirt just sticks to it. I would love to have a porcelain sink but....no one has one of those either. Camping World only has plastic and they are really cheap looking and cost a fortune. I tried Lowes but all the ones they have are too big. I haven't solved this problem yet. I'm going to do a little more research. Who would have thought getting a nice sink for an RV would be such a challenge.
