Pop-up campers are a great luxury to have when you like to go camping in the wilderness but do not want to use a tent. They are compact and easy to travel with. Pop-up campers are made of strong canvas and are subject to mold and mildew, especially after it has rained and the pop-up camper was closed while still wet.

Pink!!! Can you see the PINK!! Ugh! Enough exclamation marks :) So this was the biggest eye sore to me in our pop up. It just made it weird inside. Really no other explanation than weird. My husband says that it doesn't really matter to him what it looks like inside, but it so matters to me. I was very excited to get started. My first thought was to buy fabric and sew the curtains. But I came to the same conclusion that I did with my cushions...too much $$$! So I started looking around at stores for curtains. I went back to our colors in the cushions but knew that I could go with just about anything. I found these tan thermal curtains for a steal at a local store. They are lined on the back, cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter. The length was perfect to cut in half and sew the bottom so they don't fray. At the same store I found the cutest valance and my curtains were almost done. I just needed to find some curtains for the beds. I found some green curtains and I was just so excited to start. I got the longest length 84" and halving it, the 42" length was perfect making them not too long or short. Our camper has these wonderful tabs that the curtains were hooked/sewed onto. I used this idea from The Pop Up Princess. My sister and I spent a sweltering hour gluing the hooks onto each and every one of those tabs! I used JB Weld and the small command hooks. When I was up looking at the tabs, I found this opening in the canvas. I was a little stressed because it was a big hole and enough for bugs to come in. I hate bugs! The Velcro was gone and the seal was down and unable to move while the camper was fully popped up. So I got some new fabric Velcro and while the pop up was partially up I climbed in and put the seal back in. Closed up nice and tight again. Hopefully no more bugs and cold coming through. This is what the pop up looks like with all those curtains down. It looked good...no pink afterglow! Since the curtains were down I decided to try something else. We had those black streaks on our windows and used this idea from The Pop Up Princess to wipe and clean the windows and canvas. It worked great and was very pleased to see the before and after pictures. At first when I was doing the curtains for the beds I just sewed the drapery hooks on and was going to put the valance above. But it didn't seem that it would work. I then cut the valance in half and sewed it to the top party of the curtains and it turned out looking really good. I also used what fabric was left from my cushions and made tie-backs. Sewing the curtains and drapery hooks was a very long process. I borrowed my sister's rotary cutter to cut them all in half, used my sewing machine and sewed the bottom. I even sewed some curtains together so we didn't have to worry about them parting all the time. I had to hand sew those drapery rings. It was a long project, but I watched a lot of movies (Netflix loves me) and finally got them done. (This picture above makes these tan curtains look a little pinkish, but they are tan.) Here is a close up of the drapery rings. One thing that we found when we went camping while the curtains were not quite done. (Just no valances up). I was getting really annoyed because the rings pop off of the hooks very easily. I was going through my bags and came across my small rubber bands and wrapped them around the hooks. It helped quite a bit. Just made a colorful addition. :) They still pop off sometimes but not as easily. They look really good and when I am done with the whole pop up I will have better pictures.

This is not really teaching related but I had to share my pop up makeover! My husband has wanted a pop up camper and has been combing sale sights for a few years now! I was not totally sold on the idea of a pop up and kept holding off until one day I finally gave in to a convincing argument. He found a great deal on a pop up and it came from a wonderful family! We drove out and picked it up. Bringing Coleman home! For the most part our new pop up (the boys named it Coleman) was in great condition...bUT I just wanted to make a few updates. My husband is in the Air Force and gone quite a bit so I did all the updates by myself while he was gone on trips. Thank you to The Pop Up Princess for so many cool pop ups to check out and inspire me. Here are some pictures of Coleman in the beginning. The first thing I did was take down all the old curtains and valances. I made sure to keep all the plastic tabs that connect the curtains (I did reuse those). Next, I took the covers off of the beds and the cushions. I recovered the cushions but kept the originals under the new covers. I threw the old covers in the washing machine and I laid the pads outside to air out. I sprayed the pads from the cushions and beds with a water/vinegar mixture and sprinkled them with baking soda once they were dry. IMPORTANT! Make sure you remember where and how certain things go on the cushions and in the camper. I took photos! NOW, I CLEANED and I CLEANED. I wiped down everything and cleaned out all the cabinets. The first update I did was to paint the stove top. I just used a white appliance epoxy and spray painted. It turned out great and was so easy to do. Now onto the fun parts the curtains and cushion covers. Here are the fabrics, rugs and colors I chose. The curtains by the beds. For the bed curtains I found a throw I liked at IKEA. I bought two and just cut them in half and hemmed the ends. For the curtain tie-backs I found napkins on sale a World Market. I cut strips and hemmed them up! TA-DA all done! Now, the regular curtains. This was the easiest job of all, I stumbled across blackout curtains at Walmart that were exactly the length and color that I wanted-I didn't have to sew a thing!!! The only difficult part with the curtains was deciding the best way to reattach the plastic tabs that hung the curtains. I tried a few items and finally ended up with safety pins. The cushion covers!! Well, these were not that easy. I have okay sewing skills, but these took a few hours and lots and lots of measuring and remeasuring. I found this post to be very helpful! I followed this tutorial to sew the boxed corners. I bought my fabric at IKEA. Here are some pictures from the cushion process. For my next project I made a cushion to go along one of the sides. I found the foam and fabric at my local Michaels Craft Store. I followed the same tutorials as I did for the chair cushions. What came next was not easy but I am so happy I did it...the floors! I headed to lowes and picked out my color and style. I chose Stainmaster Peel-and-Stick Stone Vinyl Tile it is $1.28 a piece. I used about 44 sheets in all. I soon figured out that pop up camper floors are not even. To start I just cleaned my floors really well. I did stagger mine, which was a lot more work BUT I am so happy with the way it turned out-SO HAPPY! Here are some before and after pictures of the floors. I found my rugs at World Market! After the BIG things were done I started installing some personal touches. Bear Bottle Opener found @ Amazon Paper Towel Holder Found @ Amazon My shelf, I love this shelf. I found the shelf at Target and the tubs at IKEA. The shelf lays right under my table when it is time to put the camper down. I store all of our food in the tubs while we are camping. That is my makeover! We love our Coleman! Here are some more before and afters!
