  • We hear you, renovating the windows of a vintage caravan is fiddly. Never buy a van without all the windows intact because replacements are impossible to source @michaelandcarlene @carleneduffy @thisoldvan . . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuedestyling #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedevans #cedarandsuedehome #vintagevans #caravanrenovation #vintageviscount #vanlife
  • I’ll be honest, we tried something slightly different with the curtains with Dolly and it’s not quite working for us yet, aesthetically or functionally but in a last minute ditch effort I utilised some twine for the shoot and I’m digging it 🦋 @caitmiersphotography @michaelandcarlene @thisoldvan @carleneduffy. . . . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuedestyling #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedevans #cedarandsuedehome #vintagevans #caravanrenovation #vintageviscount #vanlife
  • Breaking up the Dolly spam with a sneaky peak of our #toowongqueenslanderproject in all its rich, warm goodness.

  • We don’t take for granted the extra space In this van. It’s a total luxury. Each trip we take we tweak how to make the most use of it ie. where to store shoes, board games, hats etc. Our next stint away is a long two weeks so we’ll really have it pegged 🦋 #dollythevan @michaelandcarlene @carleneduffy @thisoldvan . . . #cedarandsuede #cedarandsuedestyling #cedarandsuededesign #cedarandsuedevans #cedarandsuedehome #vintagevans #caravanrenovation #vintageviscount #vanlife
  • Maintain the original details where you can 🦋 This vintage belle had good bones so in many areas, just needed resurfacing.
