For Sale:

Update!  This little vintage camper is currently for sale.  You can buy it here! THIS CAMPER HAS BEEN SOLD

 

Lacey and her husband, Josh, spent 2 1/2 months gutting and rebuilding their vintage camper. That is a lot of work in a little amount of time considering the only things they could salvage were the doors and kitchen sink.  Their hard work paid off because this camper is breathtaking.  Take a look for yourself:

Every time I look at these photos I see new details; the beadboard ceiling, the perfect blend of vibrant fabrics, the storage baskets, and the adorable teal knobs.  There is a lot going on in this space and yet there is a beautiful simplicity to it at the same time.  Take a moment and take it all in.  Then, come back in a few minutes and do it again.  orange and teal vintage trailer

Lacey hand selected all of the fabrics and made all of the curtains and pillows herself.  The cushions are also her handy work.

This camper kitchen is small but mighty.  The tin backsplash and colorful array of hanging utensils give it the same brightness and cheer as the rest of the space.

While I love everything in this camper, this table stole my heart.  Lacey created it by cutting a map to fit the table top.  She then covered it in epoxy.  Keep scrolling to get a better look!

If you are hoping for a year and model for this camper, you are out of luck.  Lacey and Josh aren’t certain what type of camper they have.  The title only gave the year 1970 and the camper itself gave no details of its history.

  1. We started on a 1973 19 ft Vanguard travel trailer. I enjoy the ideas I have seen and plan to do additional changes. I love my little home away from home. I do have a few questions though. I look forward to hearing from you.

    1. Hi Linda! Thanks for reading our blog. These campers do make great little getaways! What questions do you have?

      1. Thank you for the wealth of information. I have a 1969 Tag a Long and due to wood rot I need to drop the sides. Besides the 10,000 screws do you use the butyl adhesive or another product to put it back together? Thank you so much Michelle

        1. We did use butyl tape in many areas of the restoration. It is especially useful when you re-attach windows, roof vents, and j-rail. We also purchased several boxes of Kreg screws for the framing.

  2. Ooooh, how I love Lacey’s style and her beautiful camper! I just bought a 1994 Starcraft pop up camper yesterday and am so very excited! The camper is in wonderful shape with no existing damage and doesn’t require any maintenance, however I do need to freshen it up and add my own personal touch. I, too, adore the boho vibe. I’m most interested in exactly how she made her map table. I cannot tell from the pictures if she had to add a lip or rim on her table to allow the epoxy to spread and remain contained.

    1. Congrats on your purchase! I’m so glad you were able to find one that had been well cared for. Now you just get to focus on the fun part! I’ve never worked with epoxy before. It looks like there is a piece of metal trim that goes around the table though.

    2. There is a two part product that creates the acrylic look. The trim would be put on first so that the product doesn’t run off the edges.
