在这里,我们再次去……另一个家庭装修项目。即使有少于200平方英尺的时间。这次是浴室。
对于那些不认识的人,我们有1999年的Airstream Safari。如今,Airstreams因其现代室内装备而闻名,配以令人愉悦的面料和饰面。不幸的是,他们在90年代经历了事实并非如此。我们’99的原始内部简直令人毛骨悚然。如果您想证明,请退房this post所有前后照片。
在我们搬进来之前,我们对内部进行了相当大的化妆品翻新。浴室是进行相当重大大修的区域之一。我们更换了水槽,水龙头,地板,后挡板,台面和厕所。我们还涂在丑陋的金叶图案墙纸上,并安装了一些毛巾钩。
We still love our renovated bathroom…except for the backsplash. To make it look more like modern Airstreams we installed a sheet of aluminum behind the sink. It looked great at first and then the raw aluminum began to tarnish and stain with water spots that no amount of cleaning would remove. Eventually we decided to simply cover it up with a new backsplash. A few months ago we did the same thing在厨房。
Since I’ve never been one to do things halfway, I figured while we were at it we might as well add a fresh coat of paint and some new accessories. Here’s how it all went down…
第1部分:新油漆
材料
- Behr Premium Zero Zero Paint在Eggshell表面上
- 小辊
– Paintbrush
– Paint tray
We removed the upper cabinets and towel racks. Check out the gold patterned wall paper behind the removed cabinet. Now imagine the entire bathroom covered with this wallpaper!
浴室很小,但是有很多边缘和表面可切周。由于我已经绘制了它,一旦我知道我可以用任何东西绘制任何东西。但是我确实花了额外的时间确保我不会在任何地方都没有油漆。我花了大约一个小时的时间绘画第一件外套,然后回去修饰一些需要额外覆盖的景点。
Part 2: New Backsplash
材料
- 8智能瓷砖Peel & Stick Backsplash Tiles
- 笔直的边缘和实用刀
We choose to use peel and stick tiles for a variety of reasons. They are lightweight, mess-free and easy to install.
在网上搜索时,我遇到了智能瓷砖品牌的剥离和粘贴瓷砖,并且知道我喜欢外观。它们有点像玻璃瓷砖,除了由薄而不需要砂浆且无需安装灌浆的塑料材料制成的。
I decided to order them direct from the智能瓷砖websitebecause they have a wider selection then what you can find at Home Depot. This meant I had to pay a $10 shipping charge, but since the style I picked out was discounted I ended up saving money in the end.
Installing the tiles was extremely easy. Since we had good luck in the kitchen simply installing the new tiles over the old backsplash, we didn’t bother removing it. That also ensured that we were starting with a flat surface. We lined up the first tile with the wall and counter and pressed on the front while slowly peeling off the back paper.
We followed the manufacturer’s instructions and overlapped the white “grout line” border between tiles. Before we knew it the first row was done.
The last tile on the end needed to be cut to fit. We measured and marked the tile, and then ran a utility knife along a straight edge to cut it. We also could have cut the tiles with scissors.
第二级在第一个级别上排名第一,很快我们正在寻找改进的后挡板!
第3部分:配件
材料:
- 毛巾(2浴和1个手巾)
- 牙刷支架
最后一步是增加新配件。我购买了一些新毛巾,这些毛巾在Target上出售,并配以牙刷持有者进行匹配。毛巾中的黄色确实增加了颜色的鲜艳。装饰柜台角落的巨型海壳完成了外观。
最后的想法
一周后,喜欢新外观。这些瓷砖握紧了,它们更容易擦拭干净,而不是旧铝的后挡板。整个改建的大总数仅为93.00美元,我们认为这是最小的投资,用于新的外观。希望这将是我们小浴室正在进行的故事的最后一章。

It looks beautiful! Great job.
谢谢页面!
Love this – thanks for the tips and including your product list! I will be looking for Smart Tiles for our airstream, too!
它们似乎是一个非常棒的产品。我知道很多人已经将它们安装在房车中,并效果很好。
好看。我爱我的聪明瓷砖…。值得每一分钱!
很高兴听到您仍然喜欢您的!
Looks great! I have been looking at that tile. It looks even better installed!
Thanks Meg! It turned out even better than we expected.
这看起来很可爱!我只是带回家的几个瓷砖样品,看看哪些瓷砖在我的新A/S中最有效!想看??:-)
Question: The area I’m most afraid of is taking things down that are screwed into the walls. You seem to do this freely and without worry. Any tips, please?
Here are Tim’s tips for taking down things that are screwed into the walls: Have a helper hold the item that you are removing, and apply pressure to that item as you slowly remove the screw so as to not strip it. Hope this helps.
看起来很棒!
谢谢!等不及要亲自向您展示:)
The new look is fabulous! Love it!

谢谢妮娜!
Very nice!
美丽的!!你做的非常出色。我们一直在计划用智能瓷砖来制作厨房(也许是虚荣区)。即使我们的预告片是新的,我认为重塑项目很快就会在我们的未来。我很高兴您发布了此信息。:-)
我完全同意,即使是新的RVS也应该进行一些翻新:)智能瓷砖是一个不错的选择,因为它们需要零工具即可安装!
Looks nice and I have that brand of “tiles” now in my entire kitchen as a back splash. I absolutely LOVE them.
Looks great! Awesome job. Just found your blog today, and been reading it a lot. Curious about the electrical outlets that were on the original wall……where did those go? I think one is a battery/water pump, electrical outlet and light switch. We had a 2004 Safari, nice. 25′, and now have a 2005 28’Safari with a more modern decor, Would love to do the bathroom back splash, but don’t want to mess with the electrical bits that are there.
蒂姆在第一轮浴室翻新过程中移动了插座和切换。他们现在居住在下面的机柜中。如果您将智能瓷砖用作后挡板,它们将非常容易切割和适合插座/开关。您只需要一把简单的实用刀。
