Life in an Airstream

Julie and her young son, Henry, were offered the chance to live at the base of a tropical fruit farm in Southern California, about a mile from the Pacific ocean. The only catch? She'd have to rehab an existing Airstream trailer and garden shed as her home. The resulting living situation is imaginative, inviting and absolutely wild.

I wish there was a picture of the OUTSIDE of the residence. I would like to know how it all fits together.

Otherwise, it's quite beautiful. The stove is a peach!

I would love it if you guys would run a piece linked to or featuring this creatively renovated small camper, http://honeyrockdawn.com/2011/07/my-gypsy-trailer/, or, actually any topic related to this wonderfully creative and inspiring blogger, Shreve Stockton.

alas, it seems to be more "life in a shed" than "life in an airstream"

I would do that if I were a mile from the beach. It's pretty tight looking, I love the overall feel: casual vintage... bohemian style

I was worried that the upholstered walls would make the Airstream look like a padded cell, but the arched ceiling makes it more tent-like. As it is, it's full of boho charm.
