Cudahy, WI
Tell us a little About Yourself
My husband and I are in our mid 50's, and we recently purchased a vintage motorhome (1988 National RV 27ft. Dolphin). We want to play for a while to see if this is something we would be interested in doing when we retire. At the moment we have been cleaning and updating our motorhome and look forward to using her this summer.

1988 Dolphin - Painting Walls and Refinishing the Cabinets

The first thing I decided to tackle inside was washing everything down and begin by painting the walls to get rid of the dated wall paper. We went with olive and chocolate brown as our colors. This way I could do a Tuscan theme, but still have colors that would be camping/dog friendly. We have two black labs, so no light pastel colors for us, I wanted it to be dog & man friendly for my husband.

 

The insides of all the cabinets were painted the same color as the walls, a…
