What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? Our bed that my husband built: it has ample storage underneath, which we desperately need and is level with the windows (good for star-gazing while falling asleep).

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? We have a rule: every piece of furniture must serve at least two purposes, function and storage. we've taken out more furniture than we've put in and tried to recycle or re-use much of the original materials (i.e. the bathroom shelves were drawers). our main resources have been lowes, found items, scrap lumber, and our rudimentary carpentry skills.

Your bed is awesome!
Where did you find your sheepskin bedcover; it looks great!
Your bed is great!
RVs can be so generic, but you guys made yours over to be so personal. You even made room for an herb garden! Good for you. I'm impressed.
Wow!
is that an airstream? if it is, you're so cool. even if it's not an airstream, you're still pretty cool. I love the bed and the way you've reinvented all the built in storage.
Awesome!!!
I love this. The bed is great. Truly original.
you made that tiny trailer seem spacious. very cool.
wonderful. looks like a great place to share a breeze over iced tea and appreciation of your adorable little dog. that bed is really amazing. looks so liveable, yet you did this with such efficiency. it's warm, it's cool. great job.
I luv it. Is this an airstream?
I love this. The mixing with the old and new is very cool, and I love how unique it looks. THUMBS UP!
Do you travel in your trailer or is it stationary?
I gave it a thumbs up just because of the horns above the bed!!
Love it! I wish I could live there.
Really nice! I don't recall seeing a trailer on AT before, even though they are the quintessential type of small living space in a lot of the country. I really like the pink dog painting over the stove.
your photos made me smile... you rock
Well done! I love the mini garden in the windows!
definetly a winner..
That would be an awesome contest — who has the best decorated coach/trailer/camper!
I second letteretcher!
Good job Cort:) I love the bed as well!!!!!!!
thanks for all the nice comments :)
to answer some questions:
we are stationary in an aluminum (1981) avion, not an airstream, but very similar.
the sheepskin is a rug, but i wouldn't let anyone walk on it, so it ended up on the bed! i got it online at overland.com.
i love that you truly do have a tiny space but there seems to be NO clutter! that always amazes me. very cool.
omigosh! bowie, tx!
my parents have a ranch in ringgold. dang!
This is a great entry! I particularly like the first picture. Thanks for sharing, and good luck!

I love it and your dog. I totally want an airstreamer to redo one day. My only question is (which i mean in the best way) why do you live in a trailer? You two have such style, think of what you do with more space. :)
Well done!!!
Winner!

loving loving loving the trailer/RV entries... I didn't know these extremely little homes could have such big personalities... kinda like little doggies... p.s. your doggie is super cute. Maybe it should be it's own category next year?
shaunon-
no offense taken! and since you asked, my husband's grandparents are fruit and vegetable farmers and we've decided to continue the family legacy . . . the trailer is only temporary, but has been really fun. plus, who doesn't love a silver trailer?
Really nice! - if ever your trailer needs a new home...
Best!

this is getting a thumbs up purely for that amazing dog (great photo!). the rv is really awesome too.
wowowowow!! I love it!
love it! and your dog is adorable.
Wonderfully done trailer. Little curious why it looks like firewood is holding up your bed though.
Very pretty dog - I had one just like it once but it had seizures and died. So the sight made me cry a little.
very cool, well done in everything
Thumbs up!
Definitely a winner, you are "space conquerors."
What a great "Texan" bed! I love the wood - it makes the place look a lot more warm and inviting. Good job, guys!
Fabulous! I have lived in a silver bullet also -- although your Far out does mine. You have done a wonderful job - i think Airstreams are one of the best spaces ever created. Well done!
wow, very cool, 2 thumbs up
My hat is off to anyone who can live in this size of space without killing each other!!
I'm loving the RV/trailer entries! Good job!
Ah, I could definitely live like this.
so cool & brilliant!
Fantastic! I sure hope you get into the finals.
Thanks for giving 'trailer' living....a whole new respect. They are actually very hard to work with since so much is already set in place and the options are few. You did a fantastic job taking those elements and somehow transforming them into such a great living space.
Cute! What does your doggy think of your place?

Awesome! You have inspired me to redecorate my little camper!! Adorable dog, too!!
I wouldn't mess with that dog :-)
This looks great! My husband and I are currently living in our RV, and you inspire me to think about redecorating our space.
Also love the pup...we have two large dogs who OWN our space!
I love this so much - I've always wanted to live in a big aluminum trailer, a la Airstream. I voted for you with a VERY resounding click of my mouse, you guys are awesome. This is much cooler and about a bazillion times more unique than all of the boring 'magazine modern' apartments that populate this site. Cheers from Indiana!
power to the texas couple!!
I love your space! Our dogs look the same, Puggle?
Your place and Jay's Tumbleweed are two of the best in the contest. With him out, I clicked extra hard for you!! Your place has a wonderfully personal charm. And who doesn't want to snatch up your pup!! Very sweet.
But yes, why the firewood under the bed? Is it a faux wall??
The "logs" are about 4" long and attached to removable panels (they were someone elses trash). Inspiration for the bed is/was the artwork by Ursula von Rydingsvard.
