If you need proof that tiny spaces can pack a big style punch, look no further than this trailer redo from Becky Morgan and her wife Sarah Wackett (@builtbywackett). The couple found this 1958 Glendale trailer on a farm, where it had been sitting out in the elements for years. “There was mold, the inside was rotting, and it was dark and cold,” Becky says. “The sweetest guy sold it to us because he just wanted it off his property but it was in pretty bad shape.

Hey guys, welcome to 2021. Hope it's treating you well! This year is off to an exciting start because after ONE WHOLE YEAR (how?) we have finally completed our vintage camper remodel. For a little background - we bought this camper in 2019 for $600 with the plan to maybe turn it into a photo booth, maybe just a camper? Honestly we didn't think that we would even have time to touch it in 2020 because we were so busy with our photo booth business - Lamphouse Photo Co. WELP. With all events and weddings canceled in March 2020 we started work on our 1968 Play Mor 140. AND! We documented the entire process on our YouTube channel: Trailer Trash to Treasure Which, (woo-hoo) just passed 1k subscribers! We worked on the camper every week and finished it almost exactly a year from when we started. Here's the before tour: First the exterior. Oof. Poor guy had been given the rattle can mossy oak treatment and it was doing his cute shape NO favors. Next up, the "kitchen" BIG USE OF QUOTATION MARKS THERE ; ) What's there to say, it was basically gone. Disintegrated. Like the little scalloped edge on the cabinet though so style points for that I guess. Here's the dinette that would fold down into a bed: The other ~bed~ Would you sleep there? So we got to work with the help of my dad, Dave and mom, Connie and demolished the interior first: We then took it down to the frame, rebuilt the walls, ceiling, stripped the skin and repainted the exterior and ta-da, here's the final product: The kitchen after: I think the kitchen might be my favorite part of the camper. We installed a new faucet, built upper and lower cabinets, added a water pump and water system and new hardware of course. Next up, the front "dinette" We ended up opting for storage and turned the dinette into a permanent couch/bed. We're tent campers and we usually eat outside on a picnic table so we didn't think we would spend the time to convert it back and forth every day from a dinette to a bed. And finally, the bedroom: Did I say the kitchen was my favorite? Maybe this is? Idk, I love it all. Simon is a big fan of the big, fluffy bed: The bed converts back into a couch area during the day to add a tiny amount of floor space, access to under the bed storage, and a nice seating area for meals or relaxing.

Our 2nd Camper Re-do Camping is something we LOVE to do as a family. And with the birth of our baby Florence who was premature by 4 months (she weighed 15 oz) we knew we would want to do something as a family away from a lot of germs and large crowds that could possibly get her really sick. So at the start of the year we decided we would buy another camper (we re did one already before ...Our vintage camper-The Morning Glory) but this time we would get one that was super light and easy to manage. That we would be able to pull behind us wherever we wanted to go. A lot of campers (especially older ones) are made of wood...and its heavy and it can rot. Fiberglass is amazing because it can't rot or rust and is super light. So we were on the hunt for our fiberglass camper. And thats when we found our little Scamp. 16ft and a real beauty. We got a super awesome deal that we snatched up right away. And the great part is we didn't have to drive far. It was in our area. The layout is one big dinette, a side 2 seater dinette and kitchen and bathroom( this was a must!) Its perfect for our family of 5. She didn't have a whole lot of fix up work, other than a rotting floor that needed replaced and a few cabinets that needed painting. The main work for me was to lighten up the small space to give it an open feel. So my concept was to go white...a durable wipe-able white. So the cabinets got painted white, I did white leather for the cushions and one of the tables and added a few subtle pops of color. I LOVE the CLASSY and TIMELESS look. My wonderful husband took me on a date to target where I found most of my decorations and all of the pillows for the camper. The pillows happened to be on sale that I found. :Score:! I didn't want to over do it on the decor since we would be taking it down and setting it up when we camped and I wanted to keep it pretty simple in the small space. I also tried to find items that didn't weigh too much or that wouldn't break. We are very thankful for my husbands job site where we were able to have all the tools and space we needed to fix it up. Rain or shine. We worked hard on it for a couple weeks and the end result was exactly what I was dreaming up. For the last touch on the camper I ordered some banners and fun lighting for the camper from amazon. Lanterns, string lights, sparkling ones for the outside. Made a very fun touch for our campsite at night. And of course, my camper wasn't complete without a little chandelier. Happened to be a light to decorate a locker. But it worked perfectly for my purpose. So without further ado...I present to you ...Edelwiess... our little scamp. Starting work on the camper..... Shopping for Decor! Before and AFTER~~ Entry door- Before AFTER BEFORE AFTER This camper had about 20 green christmas tree clusters all over. I wasn't a fan. So I wiped them off...much better. I wrapped my couch cushions (like I did in my first camper here...gift wrap technique) and hand stitched it closed. It worked out very nicely and this fabric is super easy to clean. Daniel worked really hard and did a wonderful job putting in the new floor Happy Glamping! Hannah and The Winter Family

A front door may not take up much room, but it can do a lot to impact the curb appeal of a house. At the home of interior designer Katherine Thewlis—who blogs at Hausmatter—the front door was definitely not pulling its weight. “The original 1970s storm door, sconce, and number sign had never been updated,” Katherine says. That meant that they were sporting very 1970s touches, like ruffled edges on the door—and the dulled finishes were looking not-so-welcoming.
