I simply had enough of the very lovely (sarcasm!) yellow, cheap looking, plastic shower in our RV. After stumbling upon the all-in-one faux Carrera marble video, I knew what needed to be done. I had considered using an epoxy kit but was scared of epoxy, so I was absolutely thrilled to find an alternative approach with similar result using a product I was already familiar with (after doing my kitchen with it) and felt very confident with. I really think I made the right move here. Because the shower surround was molded in a certain way I decided the only way to work with that was to make it look like Carrera marble panels are in a white shower. Considering painting the gold metal trim in a matte black. I'd love to get anyone's input - will black matte trims around the shower stall be a timeless move, or will that become outdated anytime soon?

RV designers are absolutely brilliant with the way they can really pack in all the comforts of home in a very tiny space, but some of their color choices leave a LOT to be desired. But that's alright with me - that's fixable and a fun productive project for me. I'm going to put on the gloss sealer today and move to the next RV project - stenciling a wall in the powder room....... Woohoo loving this product!!
