Wow, where do I begin? We did this remodel
so long ago and I had planned on getting this post up right away! So much for
that! I decided I still better get it put up because it could still help others
out there in our circumstances. OK, I guess I’ll start in the living room where
my husband and I decided to put bunk beds for a permanent temporary fix
to the fact that we weren’t able to get a bunk bed RV to begin with. We would have
loved to get one; however, they were initially out of our price range. (They
still are, we are just going to try to save, save, save!) Anyway, back to our
remodel!

The remodel gave us the opportunity to make
our RV a home! We started in the living room long before we did the rest! We
initially just put in bunk beds in the living room. It was nice and not too
difficult, more creative than anything! My husband is basically a jack of all
trades. He knows a lot of things about a lot of areas and just goes from there!
He knew that you could buy the beds that go on the ceiling (and fold-down) in
the front of the old Class A RVs so he thought we’d put one of those above our couch
for our children. He wasn’t able to find one; however, he was able to find the
metal brackets that would “hold” the bed up (on each side of the bed frame). He
painted the brackets white to give them a better look (rather than the old
metal look). So, from there, he constructed a wood box that would fit in above
our couch. After he constructed the box, he then covered it with leather
material to give it more of a finished look. He took that box and attached it
to the metal brackets and *wala*!!! That was it! He made it look entirely TOO
easy!!!
