Another Camping Trip and Decorating!

This past week we went out camping for a few days at Bamberton.  A provincial park not far from where we live.  It was idyllic of course.  The campground is in a forest just uphill from a very nice beach.  It's a great place for walking and relaxing.
I've come to the conclusion that there are good vibes in campgrounds.  Maybe it's that most of us there are "like minded."  And I think that campers have a good (maybe better than normal) outlook on life.  Nebulous, I know, but food for thought.
And of special note is how well behaved everyone is at these provincial campgrounds.  Virtually no noise except for maybe kids playing during the day--which is actually kind of pleasant when you think about it.

Decorating

Now, MWP and I have a little project going on.  While we love (did I say LOVE?) our trailer we thought that the interior was just a bit bland.  Especially if we plan to take it on a long trip and spend months in it.
So... We decided to do curtains, a new duvet cover, table cloth, flooring and new handles for the cupboards.
It took a lot of time to find just the right fabric for the curtains and duvet cover.  Then I had to figure out a way to put up curtain rods--which I did.
MWP had the curtains and duvet cover partially sewn before this camping trip and we took them along and hung them on strings just to see what they'd look like--the custom cut curtain rods hadn't arrived yet.
How many ways can you say FABULOUS?  What a difference!
Next comes the fabric for the seat cushions (MWP's job) and some flooring--probably carpet (my job).  After that we'll either find some interesting door handles or I'll paint the existing ones bright colours.
I'll post photos when the project is done :)
