I used a microfiber(faux suade looking) in tan for the bedding. I custom made throw pillows in a paslie print w/ faux leather trim and conchos to accent. I used a western shirt back for a patern for one of the fronts of my pillows it turned out very nice. I have tiled the back splash in the kitchen & under the gooseneck & bathroom around the sink with 4x4 natural tones slate that turned out very nice. I also have the metal running horses from Home Interiors it is hanging over the door. I have 2 stone hollowed out candle holders on my table(they are very heavy and dont slide around.I put a brass horse shoe style hanger beside the door for cap and coats.I put a native american potery in the entertainment center. I tried not to make it too girly and mostly western style so my hubby won't complain.

Ya I would like to see the "tiles" in the trailer also..sounds great!
One thing I plan to do before we hit the trails this season is put a memory foam topper on the bed..the mattress is NOT a regular bed mattress.. it is the kind they put in the trails..about 4 inches think..I have heard/read the memory foam toppers help ALOT in the comfort dept. ( hoping so anyway) not really wanting to spend 4-500 on a new mattress for the horse trailer at this point. Anyone else done this ? comments Welcome :)

Yes, I also put a memory foam topper on my mattress. I actually have a reagular mattress in the trailer, although not a great one. I bought a memory foam mattress topper at Walmart for it, and now it sleeps sooo much better. All the difference in the world for about a $40 investment.

It was not too hard. I did it by myself in the dead of winter using a wet saw was the worst part. It probably added 25 lbs or so.it took 2 boxes I was not to worried about that. If you do it get the grout additive to help with the flex. Mine has been in a year with no cracking.

I just bought a Serta 4" memory foam topper that came with two memory foam pillows for around $129. at Overstock.com & shipping was only $1. We were debating about buying a new mattress & I have a friend who had one so I sat on her bed & liked it so I thought it was worth a shot vs the price of a new mattress & box spring. I love it! Now I am thing of getting one for the LQ as well. (this was a really good buy considering the pillows usually run about $40 each in the department stores). They go on sale about every month or so - regular price I think was about $169. Also my friend does a lot of research & she said not to go less than 3" for a topper.

We've been debating on the memory foam topper as well,mostly we would like to have more clearance for our heads. Do you use other foam under the memory foam topper or would a 4" topper been enough support by itself? Any suggestions?

illini, are you talking a memory foam topper alone or on top of a mattress? I really dont know enough about
them to say..but I would think a topper alone wouldnt be all that comfy...but what do I know ;) I will surely check out Overstock.com..that sounds like a good deal on topper w/ pillows THANKS

I also have a memory foam topper for our bed. I got mine for around $65 at Belk's. We got them on sale and used some extra discounts. Another way to customize your rig is to have photo 'gifts' made. I have a pillow cover that I got done at Walgreens of the hubby and me on one of our riding adventures. I had a clock made with a picture of one of our horses.
I keep a lot of stuff from sliding around by cutting some of that shelf liner in the shape of the item I don't wish to move when traveling. It's amazing what will stay put even on bad forest roads.

I just got my new trailer the 6th and I been putting pictures and such in. I dont want to put anyholes in the walls so ive been using the 3M command hanging tabs, they come off and wont hurt the walls at all. Does any one know where I can get a 6 X 16 or so non breakable mirror? I want to put it on my bathroom door.

I would go to a glass shop, they can probably cut in into any size and shape you want.

Illini, you might be able to get away with just the 4" topper. Our trailer only has a 4" foam mattress which sleeps very comfortably. We put the 4" topper on top of the regular mattress on our bed & comparing it with the foam mattress in our camper, it seems firmer so I'm thinking it might work alone? I can't believe what a difference it made & sure beat the cost of having to buy a new mattress & box spring. The memory foam just conforms to your body and both my husband & I find we don't toss & turn like we use to. Eventually, I would like to get one for the LQ and thought about using it to replace the existing foam mattress.

I added fuzzy body pillows( feels like a teddy bear) on each side of the bed they help stop the drafts on chilly nights at the windows and stops you drop rolling off the bed. lol.
