Living Freely While Building Our Future
We’ve officially hit one of the most exciting parts of our RV remodel…
👉 It’s time to add COLOR!
After all the demo, prep, and planning, we are finally heading to Home Depot to bring our vision to life.
🎨 OUR COLOR CHOICES (AND WE ARE OBSESSED)
For the living room, we chose:
👉 Moscow Midnight – Sherwin Williams SW 9142
And for the bedroom trim:
👉 Tricorn Black – Sherwin Williams SW 6258
These colors are bold, rich, and exactly the vibe we’ve been dreaming about.
And honestly…
✨ We are LOVING it ✨
There’s this whole new level of excitement when you finally see your vision starting to come together.
🔨 WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT?
Here’s the current game plan:
✔ Living room painting DONE by Sunday (goal!)
✔ Bedroom possibly finished at the same time
✔ Wallpapering starts Tuesday
👉 That’s when things really start transforming!
🪵 THE BIG PROJECT (AND BIG PRICE TAG)
We also found someone to help with installing our butcher block countertops (finally 🙌)
Let’s be honest…
👉 This is one of the biggest outsourcing costs we’ll take on (for now)
Because coming up…
😬 The roof repair = $6,000
☀️ Solar = still a future goal
And yeah… those numbers can make your stomach turn a little.
💰 WHY WE’RE DOING THIS THE “SLOW WAY”
A lot of people think we’re crazy for not just throwing all our money at the remodel and finishing it fast.
But for us… it’s bigger than that.
We think about things like:
👉 What if we lost a job?
👉 What if we needed medical funds?
👉 What if family needed help?
Those “what ifs” matter.
So instead of rushing…
We’re choosing to:
✔ Invest in our future
✔ Stay financially stable
✔ Pay bills ahead (sometimes 2 years ahead)
✔ Stick to our system: Investments / Bills / Future Planning
🧠 LIVING SMART (NOT JUST FAST)
We may not be the fastest remodelers out there…
But we are:
👉 Living freely
👉 Living intentionally
👉 Living SMART
Honestly…
We think Dave Ramsey and The Budget Mom would approve 😄
❤️ ENJOYING THE PROCESS
Yes, our timeline might be longer.
Yes, we’re doing it piece by piece.
But we’re also:
✨ Enjoying every step
✨ Learning along the way
✨ Building something we’re proud of
😄 CALL US SCRAPPERS
We’ll take it.
Because at the end of the day…
We’re not just remodeling an RV.
We’re building a lifestyle that’s sustainable, secure, and full of adventure.
