<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway we have taken Delilah on 2 xmas family holidays to date and i just love playing house in her now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not bragging but this was my first complete from scratch caravan reno(oh and hubby too) and i am very proud of the end result. We did everything our self, i made the curtains, upholstered dinng seats and bedhead and we sanded and sanded, scraped up old lino, replaced some of the ceiling. Removed and re-designed cupboards to allow for microwave etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The list goes on and on and on. It ended up taking about a year all up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So get ready for shit loads of after photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just to refresh your memory here is Delilahs delightful original 1975 state...</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Hey there, a few months ago i decided it would be a good idea for us to buy a caravan to renovate for family hols and long weekends away. So as i had found a great Big 4 park and booked a caravan site when we didn't own a van yet i thought i better get movin.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So after months of perusing every caravan possible i found our perfect match. We had plans to tidy it up a bit, maybe a spot of painting, new curtains, just a few minor improvements. (Ha)</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<em><strong> <span style="color: #c27ba0;"> and we called her</span></strong></em> <strong><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> </span><em><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><u><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></u><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">Delilah...</span></u> </span> </span></span></em></strong><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">As soon as we got it home we(me and hubby) ripped out the 35yr old stunning orangy-brown carpet, removed the curtains which were adorned in same style and started cleaning madly. Anyway before we new it we had started removing all and drawers inside to give Delilah a coat of fresh white paint and the list goes on and on and on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Not to mention all the stuff hubby did underneath.(wheels, brakes, painted whole undercarriage and so on) </span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">So to cut a very long story short our minor face lift became major</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> reno(a retro reno).</span><br />

At first i wasn't sure about the new color scheme for the caravan, but then it hit me. I wanted to keep it retro, but a brighter more clourful version. I loved the colours of<br />
my new totally retro cutlery set that i recently got from <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/">http://www.cathkidston.com/</a>. So that was that...</div>

I then used the striped duck fabric to cover the buttons.</span></div>
