A few years ago, Ken replaced the heavy wood panels in our big camper fridge with whiteboard panels. It is great to be able to write on the fridge!! I didn't have a similar setup in the little camper, so I made a chalkboard. First I removed the plastic trim along the open door edge, removed the panels and sprayed them with chalkboard spray paint. I gave them a second coat, then after it was dry, reinstalled the panels and trim and now have a write on fridge!!
Panels, painted and drying.
Reinstalled and ready to use.
I would love to paint the entire camper interior, but I don't have time right now. However, a write-on fridge door was a quick project that the whole family will appreciate when we need to make lists, leave notes, etc.
Unfortunately, when I added a vinyl decal to the panel, the paint came off on the transfer paper. I used removable vinyl, so it can be taken off, repainted, etc.
Next up: tackling the fitted sheets.
Perfect width, but 18" too short.
Perfect length, but 18" too wide.
I have been thinking about the best way to take out the excess on the sofa sheet and add it to the table bed sheet. Fitted sheets are not as easy to modify as a flat sheet and in order to be comfortable, the seams should be carefully placed. I think I have it figured out, but am a bit intimidated by cutting into brand new sheets. But, here goes.
Update:
Completed sofa sheet. It isn't quite right, but it is snug and doesn't come off when someone is rolling around on it.
Table bed sheet - now the proper length and holds all the cushions together.
Not perfect by any means, but huge improvements overall!
