Welcome to the new blog about 'Dollys Daydream' - Here you will receive information, posts and photos about my new caravan which I have already begun working on.
Let me introduce you to my caravan, she is from the early 80's (like me!) and is now called KITTY! She is based at Peak Park Caravan site which is within a quarry in the beautiful Peak District National Park, she is surrounded by woodland and stunning views as well as a few other cheeky caravan friends. ; )
She was owned by a couple who loved her dearly and the family were very keen to hear that she would be restored and cared for as she used to be....
As we pulled up to the site recently I was reminded what a state the van was in, she was so dirty. To my relief all of the muck could be washed off with a brush, bleach water and a lot of hard scrubbing! I discovered her true colour is white and that the spiders on the cobwebs on the inside of the windows could be persuaded to leave which was a relief.
The interior is dated and worn so the first thing I did was take down the nets and curtains to let the light in, these were 'removed' and I have already begun with making new curtains and cushions, however there's a lot to do before they can be put in, next step? Another clean on the outside and then a scrub of everything inside before taking off any upholstery fabric to be replaced. Having fun already though! : )
