The Cinderella trailer got me thinking about themes and color for trailers. Dose your trailer have a cute theme? Fifties, Fishing, or some thing else? My husband and I want a cute theme for our trailer, for the fabric and decor. The themes we were thinking about are Tiki, Mermaids, Squirrels, or Old West. What theme does your trailer have? Share pictures if you have them please!

I'm holding off on revealing mine right now (I've had ppl jack my style before so I stay pretty guarded now). Not that it's super fantastic or mind blowing, but I don't think I've seen it before. I will give a hint, it is era specific, and suits the design of my trailer, yet it's probably not what you're thinking.

Mine trailer is being decorated to match my theme "Little Red Bird", but like others, I am waiting on a reveal. If you are looking for a cute theme, here are a couple of ideas.
1. Find an inspiration piece, a piece of art, a dish, a lamp.. anything that you love and work off that.
2. Think back to your childhood, or your favourite old tv shows.... what are the favourite memories, scenes that surface,...
3. Spend 100+ hours on Pintrest looking at trailer makeovers and looking for inspiration..lol... thats what most people do!

We are using a vintage mermaid tattoo as our inspiration. The outside will be turquoise and white with a mermaid mural and nautical stars , inside white washed wood floors, white bead board, blue and green glass tiles backsplash. Im even designing and having printed custom fabric, im super excited. I don't care if my theme is "stolen" because no one will be able to duplicate custom fabric or mural.

No intentional theme for me, at least I don't think there's a theme. I don't know. It's just me and what I like.  I went a little floral but not conventional. And there will be a pig and a flying pig or two here and there  |

Let's see, our 57 Corvette is Cowboy or western. There's cowboy/campfire curtains and various "toys" to support that in the trailer. It's really kinda cute:    Believe it or not, someone "borrowed" our upholstery and curtains after the first rally... it happens. Since I'm not the camping half, most of the trailers go with colors or vintage trailer themes. The new owners make them their own... |
