All the 12 year old shades were looking pretty ragged. So we ordered new ones from Camping World. Here's the install, along with a quick drive through the RV facility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoNKAOoIQsg

Out with the old. In with the new! A real fun project. We had a local upholstery shop redo the dinette cushions. We did all the work on the carpet and bench seat recovering. A learning experience for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV545sF9ml0

Thanks! We wanted to just strip the doors to the original natural wood finish, but they had soaked in the "orange" color of the sun-bleached varnish. I felt bad about painting them, but was pleasantly surprised how they turned out.

My wife hates the old headboard. She saw someone on a DIY channel putting ship-lap board on a wall in their home to get that rustic look. Check out the 2nd photo to see the results after removing the old headboard and replacing it with peel and stick ship-lap. More info here...
