Miss Potter, my little Sprite 400 caravan is well on her way to having a full makeover. It's almost the equivalent to botox and collagen. This project is in full swing and I can almost taste the excitement of interior design to come with the most gorgeous fabrics, textures and colour. I can't wait!
Let me remind you of what she looked like...
Stored in a barn for 30 years this little cutie had at one time been very-much loved by it's previous owners. There was a lot of teak effect hardboard, stencilled flowers, tired looking peach walls and flea bitten turquoise curtains with matching musty-smelling foam seating (not fire-retardent!).
Some may say that I should have kept the late 1960's / early 70's decor...
To quote Plankbridge Hutmakers, who are Master Craftsman of the most beautiful shepherd huts...
'one foot in the past and one foot firmly in the present'.
There will be a touch of hardwood teak restored that will be my nod of respect to the nostalgia of the 1970's interior. I've restored the old gas lamp and kept all the fixtures and fitted furniture.
But as you will see it will be a very light, cosy and relaxing space... Can you visualise this?
I know I do. The colour of my rainbow for this little gem is a palette of Farrow & Ball greeney/greys and a delicious light cream white.
More to come soon...
