I live in a 1978 Airstream Sovereign with my husband, George. We chose the small life to get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and live the life of our dreams.

    • We are in the process of renovating one, and have pulled out everything, down to the shell. We threw away the old insulation and will be installing new insulation and wiring.

  1. Absolutely fantastic! SO many wonderful things to comment upon, but 1st: I like that the two of you are “Dreamers That DO!!!”

    Bathroom is ab-fab. Curtains with Bacon & Eggs….so cute I want the same fabric! Exceptional lay-out, very user and body friendly. I can easily see two people and a pup living their day-to-day lives in this home.

    Thank you for sharing your pretty home with us. <3

  2. I also wanted to add (no EDIT button here) that I really appreciate your “re-purposing” an existing structure. For the life of me, I’ll never understand why someone would pour a fortune into a stick-built tiny house when they can spend 1/2 of that money to either retro-fit a trailer or if they have no skills, buy one from a talented person.

    If I were to go tiny, I’d mimic what you did and capitalize on the beauty and efficiency of trailer living vs. most of the silly waste of space I see in too many stick built tiny houses.

  3. I LOVE this one!!! I especially appreciate when someone has a real feel for interior design in small spaces…keep it funky and fun while repeating just a couple of vibrant primary colors throughout. Nothing wrong with wild patterns and creativity (in fact, that’s so much more interesting), but the repeat of just a couple of colors popping up unexpectedly ties the whole place together without either being visually assaulted by too many colors and patterns, or – even worse in my opinion – being bored by a lack of any daring choices that leaves the place too matchy-matchy, like a Pottery Barn photo spread. I would never comment negatively about someone’s tiny home based on a disagreement about their personal choices or taste (as many others do on this site), but I did feel compelled to gush over the funky eclectic yet tasteful combo here. Loads of vinyl, PLUS bacon & eggs? Love love love!!!!
