Props Renovating an Our Generation Trailer for Minifee

After keeping an eye out on Facebook Marketplace for a secondhand Our Generation doll trailer to customize for my Minifee, I finally found one for the low low price of $15 (they retail for $70 brand new). It's missing all of the accessories and isn't in perfect condition, but it's a great canvas for me to make into a dream trailer for my girl Celeste.

Here's some photos of what I have to work with:

My Minifee girl Celeste for scale:

Definitely excited to get started on this! I'll be finding some inspiration on Pinterest for what I want to do and I'll share them below!

 

Here's some example photos of the look I want to go for. I want to make the interior mostly white with black and dark wooden accents, with a sort of bohemian/farmhouse vibe. I think painting the interior white will help to lighten up the space and make it look larger as well. These inspo photos were found on a blog called Barefoot Detour

Thanks! I have definitely spray painted plastic before but not quite on this scale. I usually just use spray paint, although for this one I'll definitely be using my Rust-Oleum primer first. Planning on dismantling most of it for painting and then putting it back together. But yeah things like acrylic usually don't hold up as well.

 

So I ended up dismantling it. Took forever and I ended up cracking a couple plastic pieces, but it's nothing that a little E6000 can't fix.

There's a fairly large crack in the counter, but I've since glued it back together and I'm planning on covering it with contact paper, so I think it'll be fine.

Unscrewed the floor from the bottom so now it's just a floorless shell. I went ahead and cleaned it up pretty well with a Magic Eraser to prep it for painting. I'll be taping the heck out of the windows too before I start the painting process.
