Welcome to our new boat. It is called Doo-Daa at the moment, but we don't fancy that, so we're changing it to Mouk, named after a small storybook bear who travels the world. (It's okay to change the name of a boat when it changes owners!)
Welcome.
We are going to make this tiny GRP cruiser into a floating family holiday home.

Upholstery
We've been looking at fabrics for the dinette and sofa cushions, which both convert into beds. The front cabin might be quite clean and minimal, with the main (back) cabin being a bit bolder. We wanted something bright and breezy but really hardwearing for when the kids clamber all over everything. We've been looking in Martin-Day Fabrics in Sandiacre, very helpful! So we're planning on a textured charcoal which hints of the 1950s, and a thick almost corduroy red for the back cabin (it's somehow reminiscent of Wayfarer bus seats!) We'll have piping in a contrast colour. We've spoken to a highly recommended local upholsterer, who we may have to keep secret, about putting things together...more to follow...
