Airstream Renovation
So I don’t know why, but there is this weird fascination with Airstreams, I think it has to do with the shiny metal and just overall craftsmanship of them. This 1963 Airstream was gutted and turned into a visually dynamic work space. It is technically a studio, but being that it is a blank slate of a shell, it has huge potential for a living space. Plus the construction pictures are cool!

I’ve always wanted a little Airstream trailer. I don’t know why or what I’d use it for. A studio or office, I guess. Take a look at Sisters on the Fly by Irene Rawlings. They aren’t all Airstreams, but they are all cool.
what an beautiful interior finish-is it plaster?
