HooooYahh Navy! ⚓️⚓️⚓️ Love how you brightened it up. I am working my valances soon. I have gray n dark gray everywhere so... time to Lighten and brighten! Thx for sharing!

@gwenbaum4471 3 года назад

What you did is beautiful! We have a fifth wheel and all the decor is brown brown brown. You have given me some really great ideas. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

@debbiepacker. 2 года назад

Very nice! Before finding yours, I told my husband I wanted to cut the sides off of ours. I was happy to see that someone else had already done that and is still using the day/night shades like we have. I feel better about proceeding with this idea now. Love your headboard! I took mine down with an idea to do something else, but saved it just in case I decided to cover it. Yours looks awesome, so definitely something to consider!

@rmhiatt 2 года назад

I pulled ours off the day after we got our new to us motor home a month ago. Got the batting and the fabric right away and now that the holidays are over I am working on getting them covered… one down, four to go. I love them! ❤️ It really brightens up the place! thanks for the inspiration 💡

@SantaSirGlennDrHeald 3 года назад

I completely removed the boxes from every window (and burned them), replaced with light weight home style curtains, sewed them myself. Looks much better and opened the view, as the entire window is usable now. I kept the plastic day and night blinds, as they do not block any view when not used.

@fantastiqueberliotz1209 5 лет назад

Prior to viewing this video, I had watched other videos of yours where I noticed your window coverings. I was quite impressed and liked them very much. I thought to myself, "thank goodness at least one RV interior designer had some design sense and could produce a clean, sophisticated, understated yet elegant look." I had no idea you designed these yourself. I think Tiffin (and Newmar for that matter) should hire you as their lead interior designer. Bravo Zulu! Awesome job!

@todayissomeday 5 лет назад

Thanks! I was awful in here before I changed the windows. Crappy dark brown and fake animal print. It was the worst! I couldnt wait for those things to come down! I am with you...they should get with the times.

@fantastiqueberliotz1209 5 лет назад

@@todayissomeday Truth be told, I'm waiting for them to drop the dark and heavy browns and go lighter with the woodwork and soft goods before I buy again. SO tired of the brown look and the dark interiors. We own an older travel trailer with woodwork that is all white. It's so bright, clean and cheery that I don't want to sell it, even for a class A, which will be our next purchase. That being said, I may want to hire you as my designer. ;-) By the way, my husband is retired Navy as well.

@todayissomeday 5 лет назад

@@fantastiqueberliotz1209 Hopefully, they will pay attention to trends and actually do that! The only place I have really seen it is in air stream's European decor. Although, you know manufacturers do offer lighter options but it is the dealers who are picking the details when they place their order.

@tiptonstappingout259 3 года назад

First off you and your hubs are two of our favorites to watch. We have a 2017 tiffin allegro 32SA. We ha e the exact valances as you do and they drive me crazy. I started taking them down this week and recovering. Can you say staples? Holy Hannah. I have two questions. 1. Did you add any extra support when you put them back on the wall? Without the legs of the valance the small ones only have ONE “L” clamp holding it to the wall. 2. Is there a sticky Velcro that sticks to fabric or do I have to sew the Velcro on. I don’t do anything crafty so this is been to me. I do love my first finished one. Crossing my fingers. Thanks for your help and all your great videos. ~Dusti

@todayissomeday 3 года назад

Hey Dusti. Ours are held in place with screws in the top of the valance box where it attaches to the underside of the cabinet. We sewed the velcro to the sheers and stapled the other side to the back of the box where the valances will go.

@katherineambrose5988 Год назад

I love the fabric. Do you have a link or suggestion of where to shop for curtains as fabric?

@todayissomeday Год назад

Stacy bought the fabric in 2012 from Joanes Fabric in SA. But any fabric store should be a good start.

@lizgant690 2 года назад

Great job! Beginning to recover/revamp all the window boxes in our Tiffin 36QSA. I know you had someone do the shears for you. Could you please ask her the width of fabric she used? Thanks. See you on the road!

@todayissomeday 3 года назад

We still have the blinds. We only removed the side of the box

@atwistedlime6090 3 года назад

I like them but you lose a lot of light blocking in the bedroom. Need a dark room to sleep so I’m still looking for another idea. Maybe with darker or thicker material on the sides. Hmm.

@todayissomeday 3 года назад

We haven't noticed that much light coming in. Our bedroom is pretty dark. You could put a backing on the white fabric to help with the light for sure.

@brucegillingham2793 5 лет назад

Do you think it is possible to shorten the hight of the valance and still hide the blinds /shades? I love that you guys changed this I don't think I have seen an RV or camper with window treatments that are not in the way of viewing the window.

@todayissomeday 5 лет назад

I am not sure if it would. Ours is about a inch or so lower than the blinds.

@Tootcee 4 года назад

How did you do the headboard trim at the top? Is it one continuous piece of fabric you stapled and then covered with the roping or two pieces of fabric? I have been trying to find a video of one this shape being recovered as mine is the same but been unable to find one. Any advice on how to do it would be appreciated. Yours looks great 👍

@karri3424 3 года назад

@elizabethferguson9280 5 лет назад

Thank you. Love your videos. I have thought of doing something similar but without the sheers. I'm just not crazy about the sides on the boxes. We have a 2014 Newmar Ventana with Dometic shades (one for privacy and second for light blocking on each window) and my only concern is the light that might come in around the sides of the windows. (This may not be my husband's only concern. There are screws in the wall on the sides. Were there marks/holes when the were removed? Also, I'm not seeing a place/box to check to let me know if you respond.

@todayissomeday 5 лет назад

One of the reasons I have the sheers is to hide the screw holes and to help with light peeking in from the sides of the shades (we also have both of those shades). Light is only a problem from one window in the bedroom when we are trying to sleep depending on where the lights outside are located. Phil puts a pillow up on the side of the window and it takes care of that problem. Good luck with your project!

@TF856 5 лет назад

Why do people feel the need to put unrelated music into RV videos? And when they do, why do they make it so much louder than the dialog? None of my devices have a mute button, and it takes time to turn the music off, then back on when I think that you are talking again. I know that I would rather hear nature sounds or anything other than unrelated music, especially when it's too loud. Some people even play music while they are talking making it very difficult to understand what they are saying.
