Stage one of the Caravan conversion is complete. It is now almost invisible from a distance. A few well positioned Leylandii, and the disappearance will be complete.
I chose a satin finish Charcoal Grey rather than Dark Green, and it looks OK.
On the front there were two missing windows which I've now replaced in a rather simplistic way. Next thing will be to attack the inside.
They'll need a couple of beds, a table, and some chairs. After that they can do what they like.
I may even lay some carpet. I want it to be simple, but 'reasonably' smart; so they can take some pride in it.

Oh what fun !
cheers, parsnip
Why didn't we hire you to remodel our tiny camper last summer before we spent 6 LONG months in it? All I did was white wash the interior. Can't wait to see the inside when you're done.
They will have such fun.
I think you're having some fun too! Love the skull and crossbones.
Lucky, lucky boys! What magical childhood memories they will have.
It will be!
I've got to strip it first. I'm taking out the old sink, cooker, fridge, etc. It'll be very simple inside.
I do hope so.
Of course, if it was only for them I probably wouldn't bother.
I shall build a fire-pit too; how many boys don't enjoy playing with fire!
Tidy job. Not sure about the carpet though.
It's just an old piece that has a mud-hiding pattern.
I can hear their whoops and yells right now when they see this. The scull and cross bones is a perfect last touch. You'll need to know a password to get in there!
Password 'Shivver me timbers'.
Lovely - I think you need to embrace the inner camper that you never knew existed by testing it before the boys visit! x
I'm thinking it would have made a good small studio.
It looks fantastic. If I'm ever a granny and have the resources, I shall remember this and use it as inspiration. x
All kids need a den, and this just the job! I've just spoken to them in England and they're very excited.
Fantastic. I could easily spend the rest of my days in it.
That'll do me. Are you sure about planting leylandii - think twice :)
Could enter it in Shed of the Year :-)
Wot? As trailer trash?
I've already bought them, they'll be a good ten feet back from the van.
Would it qualify? Old Wreck Caravan of the Year perhaps!
Now that looks the perfect den for those who want to chill out, or get away from the adults!
It'll probably be used for secret iPad usage.
I'll come down for a dirty weekend
You really are the world's best Grandpa.
Your grandchildren are very, very lucky!
It's grand that you are just making minimal improvements to the den, allowing the children to customize it as they wish.
No, I just like my grandsons!
I expect they'll decorate in their own particular way!
So wonderful.
Not in front of the children.
We'll see. It isn't finished yet!
'round the back.
A splendid choice of colour.
Brilliant idea, looks great!
