Instead of resolutions for the new year, we have a list of renovations for turning our Boler into a vardo. In no particular order:
- Paneling the outside
- New flooring
- T.A.R.D.I.S. door
- R2-D2 dome
- Roof AC unit
- Permanent ice chest on the outside
- Marine battery
- Small generator
- Remove the propane stove
- Repaint cabinet doors & sides
- Curtains
- New door handles & latches
- Replace the existing mirrors
- Replace the current wooden pegs with something a little more us
- Curtains
- Cushions
- Border/trim
- Geeky details as we come across them
Most of the alterations (the interior ones, definitely) are cosmetic. The wood paneling is the most obvious step in transforming the Boler from a painted egg on wheels into a gypsy-style caravan wagon. And while there's nothing wrong with the sky blue cabinetry or wall-papered doors & cubby covers, it's just not us. Especially with the geekiness we're adding. The permanent ice chest, marine battery, generator, and removal of the propane stove all match the type of camping we do. (We own several portable camp stoves already, so we don't really need one in the camper as well. Besides, an outdoor kitchen offers more space for cooking meals.)
While we wait for consistent weather (it snowed today although it was in the 60s for the past week or two) before working on the outside, I'm going to start planning interior color schemes and the like. All I know is that I have to include plaid and green somehow...
