For a while I’ve thought about campers and how fun it would be to get an old one and update it to maximum cuteness. This past weekend when I went away camping for a night I realized it wasn’t only a fun dream of mine, but that it would one day have to be a reality. I mean, once we have kids there’s no way we’ll want to hunker down in a tent. Nope, I’ve decided, we’ll have to get a camper. It will have to be something small that can hitch onto the back of our CUV (compact suv), but large enough that we can sit around the table while it pours outside, because living on the west coast you know that’s always a possibility.
It won’t happen for a few years now. After all we have a house to remodel before we can even think about a ‘summer home’. But that doesn’t mean I can ogle over some amazingly cute campers now right?
Some more examples:
1950’s camper remodel on Design Sponge
1964 caravan remodel on Apartment Therapy
1968 Serro Scotty camper on Westphoria
1972 Frolic camper remodel on The Joy of Caking
If so I want to hear all about it – is the maintenance worth getting one?

Super cute!! I hope you do this – what a fun project that would be 🙂 Joel and I are flirting with the idea of buying an old school bus and converting it into some sort of “home” for on the road. It would just be a fun challenge really!

I want a camper so bad that it hurts…Well, not just any camper but a super cute, girly one that my hubs would never approve of:)

Totally! If you ever get it just slowly make it super cute and girly so he doesn’t notice until it’s too late 😉
