Decorating Your Coach Inside

I can't believe I'm actually asking this question. 

Our coach is still pretty much "stock" inside.  Yes, the floors have been redone, valances and sofa recovered...carpet in bedroom replaced.

But what I"m curious about is how you've added things like pictures, moments of travel, etc.  At 34' we're limited in interior real estate but before we start exploring ideas I thought I'd get some examples from you'll.  Pictures are best.  Thanks in advance.

Randy/Karen, we are 40 foot and trying to figure that out as well.  Looking forward to hearing what others have done as well.

Me as well. As I finish the redo on my coach I struggle with the same thing.
One of the ideas that struck me was the new Foretravel Prevost coach. They had a Meural canvas on it. I thought this would be a pretty cool way in a small space to bring art and photos on board. Meural
I figured a space to put it in. Won't be able to put in the rotating mount but will have to manually rotate it.
Think it will give a lot of livability to a small space.

Putting a bunch of pictures around the coach wont work for me.
Also thinking of painting the galley cabinets. At least the lower ones. They aren't in the best shape. There's a couple on youtube that have a Newmar that did a extensive refit on their coach. And while its not my style, what they did was pretty incredible as far as a transformation of their coach.

Figure if I'm going to be  living in this space for a while, might as well make it mine.

Wall space is almost non existent. I've chosen to bring in a couple colors in fabrics that tie the entire small space together. Love our ruggables too! Rugs: Area Rugs, Accent Rugs and Runners | Ruggable

A few knickknacks with earth quake putty are great too.

These look interesting for the limited amount of artwork Mixtiles - Turn your photos into affordable, stunning wall art

Im thinking of creating photo slide shows on memory sticks and playing on tv. I'm in the midst  of digitizing our photos for full timing anyway.

Find meaningful items that fit in the space you have.  We have nearly 10 years of iron on patches from places we have been.  They are stapled on the window valences around the entire coach. A motorcycle shop painting. A hand made quilt by a dear friend, pine trees from Michigan, an Arts and Crafts style lamp, a dragonfly full of scented sweetgrass from South Dakota, a bronze turtle from New Mexico, a kiva ladder from Taos and more small things that have meaning to us.

None of it is in the way or has to be moved. Each fits where it is. All are for us. Not for decorating but we like every one of them.

We built our extra deep sofa to replace the factory uncomfortable Jackknife sofa, using and modifying the original end pieces. It also has huge storage underneath. Replaced the Slide Ends fabric, and changed the inside to a Morrocan color palate, many other mods, still a work in progress.
