A Few "Upgrades" in our 2016 23IKSS
Home is where you hang your hat, and jacket.
My DW saw a suggestion to have a note board to put your campsite info and location in case you need to call for help.
Before
After. My DW wanted to make the trailer feel more "ours". SmartTile
The bathroom before.
After. More SmartTile. The toothbrush holders and soap dispenser are part of the KALKGRUND series at Ikea.
I saw a complaint that the toilet paper kept coming off the roll while driving. Another accessory from the KALKGRUND series at Ikea.
Open.
Our favorite decoration. Camping rules.
We wanted to put them in our last hybrid, but we didn't have the wall space. This was the perfect wall.

Our Norwex mop and broom.
A little organization for our coffee cupboard.
Hanging shelves in the small wardrobe. We don't usually hang a lot of clothes when we camp, but if we need to, the shelves are easy to remove.
Hanging shelves in the larger wardrobe.
Hanging shelves in the back bedroom nook. We put in a pressure shower rod. As long as our five year old doesn't play Tarzan, it should hold.

So, you have completely sold us on the Smart Tiles - and we've been looking at color options. Quick question for you - that seam that is in the corner in the bathroom (almost like wall trim) - did you simply affix the tile sheet over it? Or did you cut out the seam in the precise area where you affixed the tiles? It looks great in the picture - meaning I don't see it bulging out in the corner or looking odd there - so wondering what worked for you. I keep wondering if, by leaving the seam there, there will eventually be a section of tile that will bend out? On the other hand, don't want to cut the seam out if it's doing something BESIDES acting as trim/making the wall seam look nicer...
Thanks!

We just put the sheet over the trim. Like you we didn't want to remove the trim just in case and we thought it would look funny if we made a cut in the tile. We will have to wait and see what happens in the future of the tile starts peeling away or not.

Thanks to both of you (BugBearAndBoo and Drenjoey) - it'll probably take us longer to decide on which color/pattern we want & how to handle the corner (and I see that you, Drenjoey, took a different approach & left the trim on in the corner over the tile - looks good, too!) than it will to do the actual install. I found another thread on the forum with a lot of options/color ideas, too:
http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...-126683-4.html
So cool to see what everyone's done to help us in our decision. I think we have it narrowed down to a few options - we just need to pull the trigger & do it. Will post pics once it's done! :-)

FWIW - We didn't like anything available in the stores here either, so we ended up taking a chance and ordering ours sight unseen. Ordered the SmartTiles on Amazon (free shipping) and the stone tiles from Wayfair (also free shipping).
The options we DID find in the local stores looked completely different in person than they did online - so we were prepared to be disappointed! But we got lucky, I guess.
Seems like these are an ideal rv personalization option - I'm surprised CampingWorld or other RV stores haven't added these to their offerings. :-)

Well, whaddya know...got an email this morning from CampingWorld and they were advertising peel & stick tiles (they're on sale right now, btw). Didn't see any on their website when we were shopping around, but maybe I just searched for the wrong thing!
Search - Peel and Stick Mosaics - Camping World

Careful. Some brands I searched on the internet got very bad reviews.
