This is my first article of a seven-article How-To series on the Glamping makeover of\u00a0 my <\/strong>Casita Travel Trailer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

(Please see my post, My Casita Camper “Before Glamping” Pictures<\/a>, to learn why I chose to buy a Casita Travel Trailer, including before pictures as I cleaned her up to get ready for her makeover).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Chalk Painting Cabinet Doors:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"InteriorThe picture you see here is what the interior of my Casita looked like before the makeover.<\/p>\n

If you notice, the interior walls are either white molded fiberglass or carpet, except the cabinet doors.<\/p>\n

The cabinet doors are standard MDF door construction made to look like wood.<\/p>\n

My Casita is a 2006 model, but the newer models are still made with these MDF doors and similar hardware. It is a nice, clean look but not Glamped<\/em> enough for me.<\/p>\n

Where do I get my inspiration?<\/span><\/h4>\n

I receive my inspiration from many sources, but if you go to my\u00a0Pinterest<\/em>\u00a0board, Glamping Trailer Interiors<\/em><\/strong><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0you will\u00a0see a wonderful potpourri of camper designs!<\/p>\n

\"Mrs.<\/a><\/p>\n

I genuinely believe that ALL of the designs I save to my Pinterest board are beautiful, suiting the taste of the person who created them.<\/p>\n

And while I LOVE color, which is all over my home, I wanted a subtle interior in my travel trailer, a little shabby chic mixed with a beach cottage feel.<\/p>\n

Preparing to Chalk Paint my Casita<\/span><\/h3>\n

The image below shows what the carpet on the walls looks like.<\/p>\n

\"Carpeted<\/p>\n

Outside of all the labor<\/em> involved in cleaning the carpet in my Casita, painting the cabinet doors was the MOST labor-intensive.<\/p>\n

NOTE! <\/strong><\/span>You cannot shortcut this section. If you want to paint your cabinet doors, take the time and do it right. You will be delighted that you did.
