INTERIOR – CURRENT
HAPPY LIVING SMALL SPACE
Living in a boat is much like living in a camper van or an RV – you have to be happy living in a small space! Small spaces need to feel bright and open to help them feel bigger than they really are.
PAINTING TWO MONKEYS TRAVEL STYLE
The sailing and boating world hadn’t caught onto that back in the 1970’s, so Empress is a palace of dark varnished veneered plywood, getting darker with each new coat! Having been inspired by several other camper van conversions and one sailboat conversion in particular, we’ve decided to paint the whole interior. Pretty much every bit of brown wood inside the boat is going to be painted in white primer, then covered with various shades of blue, yellow, orange, green… and so on!
LIGHTER & MOISTURE RESISTANT FABRIC
The cushion covers will be removed and replaced with new ones made from lighter, moisture-resistant fabric, and the funny little curtains will be taken down.
