The Nugget: Master Plan (and A Few Sneak Peeks!)
Dudes! We are overhauling a 1972 Bell Travel Trailer! Follow the entire series from the beginning here!
A few of the project plans for The Nugs are unconventional at best, and before we delve into them (and to avoid the side eye from die hard camping fanatics) I thought it would be fun to share the grand vision with you guys!
Is it bad if I say that basically, The Nugget is just a really fun project? I have been wanting to redo a trailer for so long that finally tackling it, is an award in and of itself. I applaud the freedom that these little guys give people, and I am having such a blast thinking outside the box. It has really pushed me creatively and it just makes me so happy every time I look at the transformation so far!
So what does The Nugs have in its future? Events, and lots of them. Parties, photo shoots, weddings, workshops, basically anywhere that the work and fun details wont be lost on a just a few woodland creatures.
Are we camping in it? Yes(ish) Court and I are really excited to take the girls adventuring. Picture a little thing I like to call light camping. Nothing too far or for too long. Trips to the lake, or fun overnighters. I would really love to visit some of the gorgeous places that Utah has to offer (Torrey is at the top of my list!) We really want it to be a comfortable place to hang out in, Big plans like four wheeling this baby into the back roads, or blazing our own trail through the wilderness? Probably not going to happen. Campsites and a place to wipe our feet sounds a little more Nugget friendly.
I have thoroughly enjoyed troubleshooting storage solutions, (wish I could say the same for Court…) I feel like I have come up with a few projects that will be just as magical inside your house as they are in the trailer. As pretty as I want The Nugget to be, it also needs to be functional. There isn’t a lot of space to decorate, so combining the two has been quite the challenge.
One thing that I love so much about vintage trailers is that there isn’t really a right or wrong way to use them. You just fill them with love and projects and you get to do whatever you want, they are just so cute that no one disagrees!
