Took the words outta me mouth there Zeds. There's an aution room across from here Para, every sunday. Just give us a nod and I can send you piccies from the viewing the day before.
I think to go with the huting lodge/log cabin style id have to start a complete fresh with everything on the interior So far i have this cupboard unit These curtains And a 3/4 metal framed bed with no boards and foam for the 3/4 bed with no covering
That interior will look a whole lot better in a nicely painted van. It'll be fine and give you time to replace it bit by bit if you want to. You couold loose the gold knobs though.
The tweed will look awesome Para, but as someone else said- get it professionally Scotch guarded. I used the spray on stuff and it still stained! Just have your door cards danish oiled marine ply with matt black cups and screws- will look great. That'll keep you busy individually painting each cup and screw head!
I think you're going to struggle to get the best of that scaled down into a van, but if you can it'd be great.
You can pick up veneer cheap on fleabay, then you can have your pick on your existing units, just done my dash in Walnut
If you're at all concerned about stains and dirt etc. then have a look at contract grade upholstery...I did mine from stuff designed for use in old people's homes. Yes I know that by admitting to this I'm opening myself to all sorts of abuse...I see it as future-proofing (as opposed to p*ss-proofing). Something like this from Carmina fabrics is contract seating grade, so will be hard wearing, Flame retardent, stain resistant etc. (Called Hemp btw)
I think im going to have to make a useable interior out of whatever i can get my hands on Then let it slowly evolve over time into something along the lines of what i want If i try and get what i want perfect before it goes on the road there will be no petrol left by the time ive finished it
I liked the look of this one Then i read the decription and it sounds like it was meant for the paravan Influenced by the powers of nature, Craggan emanates a rugged landscape weathered by the elements and accented by touches of bright flora among barren moorland. This rich woollen fabric is enhanced by a delicate highlight shade that sits quietly in the background of this simple chunky weave creating a raw, yet inviting upholstery fabric.
