1963 Shasta Travel Trailor Revival & Remod

The Legacy:

                 I finally got it. The 1963 Shasta camp trailer my grandparents had owned since 1965. My mom and aunts camped in this as little girls as did my cousins, sister (now famous ) and my self. It has been sitting at the summer fishing house in Junction, Utah for 15 years unused. Poor little trailer just collecting dust outside while all the other vintage cars sat indoors all pretty and shined up. I offered my G'Pa  a decent price to take it off his hands and the lucky girl I am he took it off my future inheritance . After I talked my dad (kinda famous now too if you watch DWTS) into hauling it back 10 hours to Boise, Id  and I was off to the races.....Nope actually back up, sike, this thing was a royal pain to haul ALL those years and my dad remembered it. The first trick was getting new tires (obviously the old ones were flat and wrong) After consulting my friend and hero (he ended up remodeling this gem for me) he said what ever you do don't get radial tires. Well the convincing I had to do to get my G'Pa's friend over in Richfield to order me Bias Ply Tires was worth it. These tires are made for old trailer houses and guess what?!? After hauling this load for 40 years swaying all over the road and staying under 50 it flew home at 70 miles per hour likety split!!

The Damage:
                 
             One of the advantages of being a grand daughter of The Campbell's is they take care of their stuff. Though the little Shasta sat outside unloved for so many years it was pretty well preserved. Meaning not every birch panel had to be replaced but the areas with serious water damage in the corners needed new wood. Here is the list of new items(not to include all the labor and incidentals it took to accomplish each task $$$( obviously DIY saves the dough) New tires, wood paneling in front, water tank,  cleaned dust corrode and wasp nests from air conditioner/heater/fridge units, ozonated the musty smell, changed all interior/exterior electrical to LED ( so you don't need a generator to run your lights and water pump) additional lights added but kept original propane lamps, added shelves to toilet room turned closet years ago ( Yes my G'Pa still has the original commode and was actually offended I didn't take it to plant flowers in ha!) new flooring that is actually gymnasium grade flooring that was a scrap piece and a perfect fit, added quilted aluminum to entire front of trailer and kitchen back splash, replaced wood in door and fixed lock, caulked all seams and windows, new brake system, fixed a few broken drawers, reupholstered all cushions, painted appliances, powder coated cabinet knobs, purchased an inverter and travel Treager Grill, sandblasted the paint and it shined up really well (thank gosh cuz I am outa money) shined up the original wings, converted metal awning to shelf, added new stickers and finally my hard work on the painted chalk wall and curtains!! Note to self....when pulling the new pretty new trailer in fresh fallen snow and over de-iced roads make sure to COMPLETELEY wipe down stainless or else it will result in another 8 hrs of buffing out the rust once the cover is pulled of in the spring....yes I had a village involved in helping me resolve this tragedy!!!!   I am sure I missed a bunch of fixer upper items and jargon that is listed on my invoices but there it is folks! If you don't want to tackle it yourself I know guy who knows a guy that can restore anything. Last item...My G'Pa paid $750 in 1965.....50 years later I am $7500 invested into the restoration of a family gem..and a business right off. Well worth it!!!!! Oh and about the famous sister.....Her name is Amy Purdy the amazing Amy we call her....adaptive snowboard pioneer, Sochi bronze medalist, 2014 Dancing with the Stars spring runner up , Co founder of Adaptive Action Sports, public speaker, actress, Model and new author of On My Own Two Feet, and the best friend and sister I know!!!(yes she was ticked I got the trailer before her, but if she wasn't so busy making a difference in the world maybe she would have beat me!)www.amypurdy.com

                                                                 Happy Trails!!!

Get your Orange Crush on!!!!

I love orange!! I used this color to be the reverse of its intentions, rather then energizing and bold its mellow and mysterious. This house has been one of the best selling floorplans and tons of compliments on the color palette!! The yoga room was an ode to my favorite workout............



This wall is the best color! It doesnt startle you when you walk in the room it invites you......

Game room with a fun art focal point..Thanks to Pier One for that!

 

This scheme is a an urban industrial mix with medium wood tones, metals, grey ,linen and putty as the base colors and some orange love!!

Sometimes all you need is a pillow and a book with your accent color to pull a room together and flow with the rest of the house!

I actually wish I would have had a tone on tone chevron rug for the photos but the pillows are my favorite! I got them at (tar-jay) aka Target!

This has an orange mirror and a mix of funky chairs.Sorry the pic is not so good!

The next pics are from other random houses I have done but I must like orange or variations of it! This room is really warm and comfortable the walls are actually a bit on the caramel side, I do love a bit of animal print when the mood of the room needs it! This is man cave any woman would like to share! My point when decorating it EXACTLY!

The chest actually inspired this room, then I found the fun tangerine and turquoise pillows and the travel theme followed ...... 

Adored these muted orange velvet host and hostess chairs. A fun way to mix up a boring dining table!

 

Little girls garden party tea room.........

And who says you can't mix red and orange...This is one of my favorite rooms using these three colors of the rainbows!!! Hope I have inspired you to have a color crush on your house!www.allureinteriorsinc.com

 

Re-vamp your kids camp for Christmas!!!! Check these pics out for some motovation and inspiration!!!!!!

Purple Passion.....
the wall detail is created with high gloss paint of the same
color as the base and stenciled over the top.

I was excited to have a room that would be
perfect for a memory board style head board.
 



Ahoy Matey!!
The drapes in this room are hung on hardware
made from a long bamboo rod and captain's hooks

Candy Apple Green
This room is really Happy!!! The drapes are
hung on medallions made with dowels and
hot glued flowers.

Any easy art solution is to frame scrapbook paper
and hang from decorative knobs and ribbon like over
the crib.

How do you find bedding for a boyscout /camp/fish
room?? I had pillows made of t-shirts
 I found at Wal-Mart of course!!

Peace,Love & Happiness
Frame quotes painted on the wall for another
artwork solution!!

Cowboys & Indians
I couldn't help myself but to have a tee-pee for the
 headboard, a lasso wrapped around the room and
The Lone Ranger adorn the walls!

Don't let the bed bugs bite!
The itsy-bitsy spider is crawling right over the bed
on the water spout!!!

Wakeboard
That chair is made from a broken wakeboard and
an Adirondack chair. I am glad my idea worked
out!
 

Sk8er
The headboard is decks screwed to 2 x 4 and
 attached to the wall. Still one of my favorite
designs!!!!

Vintage surf chic
Another art solution is ordering vintage postcards
in your theme and hanging them on a picture
hanger!!

Hope this gave you some ideas. I am so blessed to have
the opportunity to be creative!
