bookshelves, makeup mirror, UV window covers

My wife and I tend to accumulate lots of written material in our travels, which leads to a cluttered trailer. I solved the problem by constructing bookshelves that fit into unused spaces in our RV - behind a swivel rocker and against a wall at the back of the unit. (See attached pictures.)

My wife requested I install a makeup mirror in the bathroom. I made a base plate for it out of birch plywood which I framed in redwood. (See picture.)

Our RV interior suffers from UV exposure during the intense summers of Northern California. We solved the problem my purchasing cheap foil-fronted windshield sun screens from Walmart, then cutting and taping them together to fit each window in our trailer. They fit between the glass and the blinds, which are lowered to keep them in place. (See picture.)

I did the make-up mirror too, but I went a little crazy by pealing back the paneling and adding a 1" x 6" for backing. Also ran wire(lighted mirror) inside wall and tied into nearby recepticle.

The sun screen idea is such a simple but great idea. We have been trying to come up with a way to make it darker in the bedroom and I think this will fit the bill perfect.
