While our new home has very few miles on it, the furnishings and technology is 11 years old. Once we got back to Texas with it, we immediately began its refurbishing. 11 year old TV’s weighed over 100 pounds and had tubes in them. The rig has telephone jacks and cigarette lighter connections. While 11 years seems like not very long, when it comes to the technology, it really made us look at how far our world has come. 
While I got the TV’s replaced with flat screens, Jill began tearing out the window treatments. They were lined with dark green wooden valances. She went to Walmart and bought regular curtains, cut them in half and made two curtains out of one for maybe 20.00 per window.

She then decided that the booth wasn’t home like, but more camping like. So she tore that out and got an antique table and chairs for the dining room.
She went again to Walmart and got a very inexpensive table cloth which changed the entire look of the room again, and also added a throw rug to go under it and into the kitchen. Yesterday, she topped it off by taking the sleeper sofa out, and she bought a wine table made from a dresser that she found at the antique store. She also brought home the red leather chair from storage to add to the look and of course to add more seating.
The kitchen is next, and I think she is contemplating painting all the cabinets and trim. She just doesn’t like the light color.
A fun comparison of the living room before and after and then after painting the walls Taupe and the Cabinets high gloss white.
I will be updating this post as she continues throughout the rig.
Jill and you both are great,
