Well the inside is about 1/2 painted ... using Valspar Barcelona White which is quite a bit more yellow than white ... maybe it's "cream" as hubby calls it. Anyway, it looks so fresh and clean inside. We're using a semi-gloss so that should help brighten it up even more. One thing I have to give Shasta credit for is the amount of light inside their old campers. The LoFlyte has panoramic windows in the dining area (meaning a huge set of windows across the front and one behind each seat) and a total of 7 window sections in a 12-foot living space. Front and back windows go nearly the width of the camper. There is a big section of windows in the kitchen area (this section goes from in front of the sink to behind the dinette seat on the street side of the camper). There are windows on each side of the front dinette (behind the seats) and windows on each side of the couch/bed area plus a tiny little window on top. With the front door open and the screen door allowing more light inside, it's open and airy and completely non-cavelike.
While I absolutely adore the cute little canned hams, I've been inside a couple and they seem dark and dreary. I'm falling more in love with this LoFlyte by the day. So anyway, with the paint on the walls, I decided to put up one of the sets of curtains I've made (still working on the rest). It's a perfect match ... I had a choice of going with ivory or beige and decided to listen to my daughter and go with beige. I'm so glad I did. I think they look great.
Now I just have to get the rest of the interior painted, the cabinet hardware put back, the bench seats and bed screwed back into place and the shelf section across the back re-trimmed and I'll be ready to start decorating. I can't wait!
The curtains are darling! I've got to get busy and sew mine. Your Shasta is coming right along (:
