Meet Stella! Our Mobile Boutique

We purchased this 1983 Shasta Camper on July 25, 2020.  My husband and I knew we wanted a renovation.  It proved to be much more...

Nothing had been touched on the inside for years.  That was ok because we had a vision!  But, we had to get passed years of neglect.

"Darrell" the squirrel had taken up residence inside one of the large cabinets.(I had to name him)  A friend said maybe he needed a safe space to pass peacefully. RIP Darrell

The more we tore out, the more we realized it all had to go. We took it apart piece by piece so we could put it back together the "correct" way. Well, with a few improvements.

All that was left was the trailer base.  We redesigned her and moved the doors to the opposite side plus raised her roof a few feet. I kept two doors for better traffic flow.  I also wanted to keep her curved ends like her original design.

I wanted the outside to have a texture, not just a smooth finish, again trying to keep the look of the original Shasta. We used a black metal roofing material. The red finish is a waterproof sealer...which is a definite!

I was so excited that we were able to keep the original doors and crank out windows.  Luckily, the doors held up after taking them down several times to repaint, as I was trying to get the right shade. But ultimately, I decided to go with a bright white.  

After a lot of research, we decided to use pallet wood for the ceiling.  It took 128 pieces and 1280 hours (well it felt like it;)

The wood was cut, squared, sanded, brushed with polyurethane, arranged by color variation then installed.

We used shiplap for most of the walls along with some beadboard.

The fitting room/bathroom (when traveling only) is corrugated metal.  The floor was easy, a waterproof laminate.

I wanted to have a variety of finishes inside, but not too overwhelming.
