The Adventures of Luna Lonestar

Welcome to our blog. We are Linda and David. We are living our dream of traveling in our RV full time. We travel along with our little dog, Millenni. Our home is a Montana fifth wheel pulled across the country by our Chevrolet Silverado. We will be blogging about our adventures and posting photos and hope you will follow along on a regular basis. Click on any photos to see them in a larger size. Please feel free to leave comments so we will know you have dropped by.

Updates and Redecorating

I have never particularly enjoyed having things stay the same all the time.  I get bored.  I also love home decorating.  With that in mind, we have made a lot of changes in our RV since we first bought it.  I have never cared for floral deco and the RV was full of it... the cornices and curtains, bedspread, wall paper, sofa etc... were all floral prints.  YUCK!  It's taken me awhile but I think I have gotten rid of all the floral stuff.  One of the first things we did to the RV after purchasing it was to remove those horrid day/night shades.  They were a booger to operate especially in areas where you had to climb over furniture to operate them. We replaced them with plantation style blinds and have never regretted that change.  The bedding had to be changed too and since that was a simple fix that was the second item I changed.  We now have a plain brown down filled comforter.  I recently pulled down the head board and removed the ugly floral print on it and covered it with something more contemporary.  All of the window treatments have been changed from the originals. New curtains, blinds and recovering all the cornices in fabric that is in earth tones and more on the simple side.  We replaced the two original recliners about a year or so ago.  Oh and several years ago we removed the carpet and put down wooden flooring.  We still have carpet in the bedroom and on two of the slides, one under the recliners and another under the dining table and chairs.  I have never liked the clear glass globes on the lights and we finally replaced the three hanging over the kitchen island.  The new ones look so much better.  I would love to find smaller matching ones for the dining area and living room where the recliners are located but so far no such luck.  The most recent change we made was to remove the sofa bed.  It was a regular size sofa but only had a twin size bed in it.  We donated it along with a ton of other things to Goodwill.  Hopefully someone else can use it.  We found the perfect sofa bed on Craigslist, great price, queen size bed and the color works well with my new earth tone color scheme.  We also recently replaced our large king size mattress with a nice queen size.  The RV had been upgraded to include a king size bed but it took up the entire space and made it difficult to walk around the sides of the bed.  The smaller mattress gives us more room and we absolutely love the new mattress, it is a very nice one.  The next item to replace will be the TV's.  The old ones are very heavy and now we have the new HD satellite and want to streamline the big old TV's and replace with the newer and much lighter weight HD TV's.  Below are a few photos of our upgrades and redecorating.  I should have taken before and after photos but didn't even think to do that.
