Interesting article in the NY Times on a remodeled Airstream. (Free to read)

Thanks, interesting. I like the look of the retro trailer but even with the up-to-date appliances, I'd still prefer a more recent edition even without bespoke (I had to look that up) Moroccan decor. For weekends, it might be functional but for the long full-time adventure he is talking about I can't see starting up a wood burning stove would be a lot of fun. I've also seen better examples of bespokedness. I'm not sure what makes his news.

Very nice story and a beautiful old trailer. I would do it a little differently also, but it's still very nice. I also had to look up bespoke.

Nice write up.

I've been eyeing that cork flooring for a couple of years now. Looks great.

Did you notice there was no bed? I wonder if the couch doubles or is it a pull-out?
