IT’S TIME FOR UNVEILING
\nMy Casita Trailer’s Glamping Makeover<\/span><\/h5>\n

After completing the first interior remodeling, I decided to add more color in the second version of my glamping makeover of a Casita. You will find images of both versions below, along with links to all the “how-to” projects at the end of the page.<\/p>\n

Original Setup<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The three photos below show the bed setup. We decided never to use the table setup, so we permanently converted it into a bed. One of the BEST investments I made for the camper was purchasing a quality 4″ thick memory foam topper for the bed<\/strong>. I only needed to order a full-sized topper and trim a little off the corners before placing it on top of the original cushions that make up the bed.<\/p>\n

2nd Version<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Amazing what Pillows can do. I also removed the earlier bedspread and replaced it with a down comforter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I still haven’t done a thing with the old dinette cushions. Hopefully soon…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adding the down comforter was a great addition. <\/strong>We camped in Bloomington, Indiana, for Thanksgiving (to visit my daughter and son-in-law), so I purchased the comforter to help keep us warm at night. Unfortunately, we were unable to use it because it was TOO COLD! Yes, Too Cold! Temps were down in the ’20s at night, so these Texans had to keep the heater on all night. The Casita’s heater worked great but was too hot for the comforter!<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we always use the comforter when we have our AC on. The insulated carpeted walls of a Casita and the great AC unit for its size keep it nice and cool inside. Perfect for the comforter!<\/p>\n

Original Setup<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The next photo shows where I permanently attached a magazine holder to the wall, dividing the bed from the dinette.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I use it to hold my iPad and hang clips off the wire to have items like my car fob (which I keep close by if I ever need to press the panic button on my Jeep\u2026something I hope I never have to use).<\/p>\n

Since storage is KEY in a Casita<\/strong>, I left the space under the bed for placing baskets for food storage. To dress it up a bit, I created this little valance held up with a tension rod.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2nd Version<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I added two plastic baskets for food storage from the Dollar Store. I then tied some ribbon through a hole;
\nheld in place with a washer, making it very easy to pull out from under the bed.<\/p>\n

Original Setup<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

It seems so long since I started transforming my Casita that I thought I would include a few before and after images to help remind you and me of her transformation.<\/p>\n

In this first image, you can see how the Casita looked with the original table set-up and in her new bed mode.<\/p>\n

2nd Version<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I added my hat to the space above the TV stand (we don’t bring a TV when we camp). The hat is held up with a curtain hook stuck in the carpet. I love it!<\/p>\n

Original Kitchen Before & After<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The next photo shows a before and after kitchen area with chalked painted cabinet doors with wood accents, teal-painted stove top cover, and glass tiles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist adding the “Hen House” sign since my Casita is a little brown egg named “Farm Fresh.”<\/p>\n
