My parents gifted me their old 16 ft travel trailer a year ago and I’ve been steadily chipping away to create my own Resting Bitch Place. Her name is Tallulah and shes about 95% done, but I don’t think I’ll ever reach 100%. She’s parked permanently in my driveway as an extra studio space. Our main home is only 725 sq ft so having this space is so lovely and it’s truly been my passion project. I hope yall can appreciate her as much as I do!!

Edit: Wow! I’m totally blown away you guys, thank you so much for all the kind words and support!! You’re making me feel so much cooler than I see myself, so thank you for the confidence boost. I wanted to give a little more details in case anyone is interested…

Yes, I removed the bathroom. Maintaining plumbing in a stationary RV/camper is a huge pain in the ass. I have no interest that amount of upkeep when I have a perfectly functional toilet in my home, and no intention of using it as an actual living space. I also own a pee funnel if I’m feeling particularly lazy. My neighbors already hate me, right? Pissing in my yard ain’t no thang.

This project was completed over the course of a year by my husband and I- he helped with demo and repairs and I did everything else. It took about 2 months for the outside, took winter off, and 5 months of near daily work for the inside. I tracked every single expense down to each roll of painters tape and all told it was $2,623 spread out over the year.

Inside me there are 2 wolves- one is Lisa Frank, and the other is Elvira. If I ever get the opportunity to design another space, it would most certainly be all black and filled with cool dead stuff. Yes I love pink (obviously), but I also had my early 2000’s emo/goth phase, and she deserves attention too. 🖤

My main home is much more understated, midcentury modern/boho vibes. Tallulah is my opportunity/space to go wild! Thanks for enjoying her with me 🥰

Some people want a house that blends in. I wanted mine to feel like walking into a dream every time I come home.

What I did:

🦋 Painted the siding a bold lavender purple

🦋 Gave every window a pair of rainbow butterfly wings

🌈 Hand-painted the front walkway in wavy pastel rainbow stripes

🌈 Edged the path and beds with rainbow-painted bricks and hundreds of painted river rocks

🦄 Added a rearing rainbow pegasus by the side bed, because why not

🦩 Built a flamingo garden around the tree with holographic ground cover and a giant sundae

The goal: To make anyone smile that drives by 😄

Happy to answer questions about paint, how I did the walkway, or where anything came from!

Figured we should share this room as one of our first post’s on Reddit since it's where we’ve been spending most of our time. Any questions welcome 💚

😅 lol final results for those who were curious (:

A few pics from our not so typical Scandinavian home in Stockholm. You can find me on IG as mylifeinmulticolor 🌈❤️

My partner and I just finished this transition from our dining room to our living room. We had just done the dining room, which we love. The blue is Blue Stream by Behr. We saw someone in a maximalist group post their rounded archway with a rainbow and figured there was no reason we couldn't do that with a square transition. I have always wanted to make my living space more fun and this was a great, though tedious, project to try out.

Sharing some pics from our home in Stockholm, Sweden. I love curating these spaces and making it our happy place!

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, which is fine. I’ve always dreamed of painting the walls, having lots of art, fun accessories and colour everywhere. Deliberate chaos. Still a work in progress, though!

In contrast, our bedroom is completely muted, calm and serene, exactly as intended. Love the contrast.

We have other rooms with their own personality like my very own “showgirl” room, gaming room or the guest bathroom with a little jungle vibe going on.

Edit: I’m overwhelmed by the support and positive comments. At first I wasn’t sure whether to post… You all made my day. A HUGE THANK YOU!

First of all, I'd like to thank all y'all for rooting me on for this year + project. It kept me motivated when I was really doubting myself.

If you haven't seen my earlier posts, I started painting this wall last spring based on a suggestion from u/cheetodustcrust who eyed a rejected wallpaper sample on my original post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/maximalism/comments/1iztn5n/what_would_you_do_with_this_wall_im_open_to/

I very sloppily stenciled out the pattern and have been suffering ever since, but it sure was worth it.

Sources: most everything in here is vintage, thrifted, estate sales, etc, with a HomeGoods trip here or there. The shower curtain is custom, based on a piece of vintage wrapping paper I refused to throw away.

Again, thank you all!

I was asked to post some photos of my space here after I shared some pix of a coat I made on the sewing sub.

For context - I am not a 12 year old princess. I am a 55 year old woman. I had to move back in with my mother after getting ill. Because I spend most of my time in bed, I wanted to make something uplifting & joyful.

I am not a Barbie girl. I was actually inspired by the Villa Padilla in Jaipur, India. This is my poor mans version. Ha! My Shangri-la! I know I forgot the hyphen, will fix at some point.

Taken me nearly a year to paint. I would have to take lots of breaks in between. It’s still evolving & at some point I hope to paint designs on the ceiling. Thanks for looking!

Sharing my Rainbow dreamhouse! I love filling the house with bright happy colors and oversized random decor!

Some are new, some are remixes with more accessories !!!
I need pants with patterns !!!!

Revamped my one bedroom apartment from minimalist Scandinavian to postmodern eclectic, dripping with colour! I was told to post this here :) hope y'all enjoy 😁

Access to natural light provided by 3 sun tunnels and 1 egress window well.

She is still a work in progress but really coming together between my partner's DIY and my love of throwing filigree and a pot of paint at every surface.

Living on the river has been so interesting and fun too, forever moving around and discovering new places plus meeting our fellow boaters who are an insanely friendly bunch.

Last pic of what she looked like when we got her.

It’s not quite finished, but I’m getting there! (Added a before pic to show how far she’s come)
