EDIT: I wrote this post while still pregnant with my daughter, who is now one year old 😉 shows how long it’s taken me to publish this site!

We got the camper over to the barn at my dad’s farm around Halloween time. The kids and I started cleaning the inside and taping the cabinets. Prepping for paint is a chore! Or at least when you’re 27 weeks pregnant… and have an almost two year old who likes to follow behind and pull the tape off.

I used a vinegar/water mix with some essential oils to mask the smell to wipe down the cabinets. They are surprisingly really clean. I didn’t want to use any harsh chemicals because I’m prego and my kids were helping. It seemed to do the trick!!

I decided I’m going to paint the fridge with chalkboard paint to be able to write on it 🙂 very excited for that!

I can’t wait to paint and get rid of the brown. Sooo much brown! And a lot of orange too. I mean look at these cabinets

I have decided to keep the latches.. although brown.. they really are nice because they keep the cabinets closed and the kids can’t get them open. win/win

I just have to take them all off. Not looking forward to that. But I got a pretty good game plan on what I’m going to paint and where while the kids were occupied watching Zootopia and eating Halloween candy

It’s SO dark in there! And did I mention brown.. lol! Okay I’ll stop with the brown comments because it really is true to the 80s mid century feel and I know that’s ‘in’ right now.. But not really my style! (but come on, how cute are these babes)
