This post is in collaboration with Grove Collaborative and Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day. I know what you're thinking -- she said she wasn't sharing her camper reveal until June, what gives? You guys have been so excited about our camper facelift, that I couldn't bring myself to make you wait any longer. I'll be saving the full before and after posts for early next month, but since the camper kitchen was looking so bright and shiny this morning, I had to share a few pretty pictures of what we've accomplished so far.
