Judy.burton on Jan 17, 2015You can cover the ceiling with Styrofoam glue up ceiling tiles - best price I've found is at antiqueceilings.net. Lowe's has some great textured paibtable wallpaper you can use to cover the walls and/or cabinets. The beadboard paper is great for a cottage/farmhouse-style look; especially combined with the tumbled stone style. Check pinterest for inexpensive ways to redo countertopa or buy the butcher block counters from ikea.Helpful Reply

Bev Atchley on Jan 17, 2015We purchased a used mobile last year. We put a metal roof over the singles. It is super quiet and will need no maintenance for years. Since it is on a lake , we put in laminate floors to help with keeping it clean.Helpful Reply

Lee Maxwell Cooper on Jan 17, 2015We live in an 1995 mobile home on 8 acres of woods that we have completely redone as we do not want another mortgage. We added a metal roof which really cut down on heating and cooling, put in double hung, double pane windows and added siding. We are in the process of gutting and redoing the inside room by room adding wood flooring, redoing closets, ec10t. Great thing about trailers is there are no load bearing walls and you can easily recreate spaces.Helpful Reply

Alice Compton on Jan 17, 2015We live in a double wide mobile home on 5 acres, we replaced all flooring inside, you can paint walls, even over the "vinyl wallpapered" ones. My husband just finished a beautiful red room off my kitchen, can't wait for the kitchen to be painted. We have a large 3 level deck on back with part of it has a roof on it. Also skirted in bricks and we have a new steel roof, but it is still a work in process.Helpful Reply

Cindy Carley on Apr 18, 2015If we had known more about "mobile homes" before purchasing we would have "RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION"!!! Nothing but "PROBLEMS" since the first day of move in. ~ POOR WORKMANSHIP BY THE MANUFACTER!! ~~ They have had to completely "REBUILD" the mobile home and the "EVERYTHING IS STILL OUT OF SQUARE"!!! ~ Also, know that your "MOBILE HOME INSURANCE POLICY" will "NOT, AND I REPEAT NOT" pay for anything regarding "POOR WORKMANSHIP"!!! ~~ Good Luck on whatever you try and improve on yours!!!Helpful Reply

Janet Walker on Sep 28, 2016Since container homes are all the rage, you might want to check out some pics to see how they utilize space, indoors and out. With such beautiful property, I would add a long porch under that metal roof others suggested. Lots of room to relax and entertain! Congrats on your home and acreage! You are one step ahead of lots of people! Post pics as you make changes!Helpful Reply
