Cabinets
The cabinet doors were also painted with Glidden Gripper primer and painted to match the walls, except for the lower ones located on the kitchen which were painted blue.
Originally, the shelf above the dinette had a front panel that laid down to make a bunk bed. This panel was missing when we bought the camper. The panel for the small back dinette was still intact, so I took it down, cut it in half and trimmed one angled corner, and put it above the front dinette. This is stationary. I took the leftover wood from the back dinette and cut curved pieces to close the sections off and leave a shelf opening in the middle. Books or blankets, maybe?
My dear neighbor passed away last year. When they were cleaning out the barn, they invited me over to scrounge for anything. I found this metal fan that still had his room number carved into it (he was a teacher). A little oil and it purrs like a kitten. It brings me joy to use it. My daughter had set it up in the window while she cut the maps for the backsplash because it was so hot in here. I think this was a 96 degree day with about 87% humidity.
I never would have gotten this far on this project if not for the generosity of my family and friends. Dad's neighbor asked me if I still needed a fridge and told me he had a pretty rough looking one someone had traded him if I was interested. I told him I wasn't worried about the looks if it worked! He was right, this was a sad little fridge. Someone had spray painted it red, pretty badly. We brought it down to the shop and plugged it in, in no time it was nice and cool.
We used stripper to get the worst of the paint off the front door. Since the sides are not visible, we did not worry about stripping them, just sanded and cleaned them.
I used Rust-Oleum Appliance spray paint on the door. There are a few dents and dings, but that's what magnets are for, right?
