The day before we left, our amazingly talented photographer friend Rohan Anderson came over and took some pics of the caravan. I like to think of them as after the renos-before the fun photos. There's more, I'll pop them on here over the next week.
And thanks so much you guys for all your fabulous caravan adventure well wishes, they never fail to make me smile.
See ya!

So lovely and neat!
ReplyDelete1. Do you also have a picture of the van? It looks so roomy inside, I am curious to see the car from the outside.
2. Isn't it wintertime over there in Australia? Is it usual to make a road trip when it's cold? Sorry, I am from Europe and in winter we are enjoying snow or fly away for a holiday in the sun.
:)
Have fun!
It looks so warm and homely, you did an amazing job. Must feel great to have finally moved in! Hope you are relaxing, and all is going well x

O to travel the gypsy trail with you. the van is fabulous. Even some Enid Blytons there. A couple of cup hooks and some of that stringy curtain wire would help to keep the books on the shelf while travelling. Mum used to stick what she could in the sink from memory. Happy larking! Cherrie
ReplyDeleteWord verification is 'rambli'. Good word

ReplyDeleteOh my! I love love love everything in this van and it just looks like such a beautiful space for your family to enjoy together! Delightful! :) Did you make the gorgeous bedspreads!?! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Is it wrong that I come back here often to take a look and smile for awhile! This van makes me soooo happy! :)
ReplyDeleteits fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I read the article with these photos published in the magazine. I absolutely loved the photos and the article, it was the inspiration for the curtains and cushions in my kitchen nook.
ReplyDeleteAnd then, just today, I find your blog! How exciting!
es maravillosa, me encantaría poder tener algo así. ¡¡¡preciosa!!!
ReplyDeletebesosxxx
Those tin? cups take me back to the seventies! I wanted to make a suggestion...Spotlight does an oil cloth the looks exactly like your table cloth only that it's like vinyl. I have it on my dining table...no fuss with textas, drink spills, craft...food...and no messing with mats. It looks really retro and is the best thing I ever did to protect my table. And I only have to wipe it not wash it....good for caravanning families.
ReplyDeleteOh my! You have created the perfect reading spot for "Put Me in the Zoo." I would have loved to see have seen more of that granny square afghan that was all folded and neatly put away.
ReplyDeleteHi hi! I've just discovered your blog! The caravan looks so cosy, and the kind of place where laughter and mischief will rule the day :) Will catch up on your adventure as soon as I get home!
ReplyDeleteWas this featured in Green Magazine? I'm sure I've seen these pics before! Just a lovely caravan...
ReplyDeleteHey Kate. Im an old friend of Brendons from Shnat. He told me all about your blog at the reunion, and looking at it Im loving it. It is so joyful and sweet!! I am a mad crafter/ sewer too, and feel like I have found a kindred spirit in your craftyness.. so Hi! :) Gila
ReplyDeleteI have major caravan envy. What I'm really excited about is the bedding setup you have for the kids. We have 3 too. I even did a post last week about wanting a retro caravan. Yours is just amazing. xo
