Air streamin'

12 August 2010

I've been missing from the airwaves whilst taking our family vacation visiting West Coast beaches, yummy food stops, and interesting shops. Somewhere in between all that we also managed little visits to some of our prized artisan studios and beloved Tilevera showrooms.

It's our version of the Beverly Hillbillies; road travel with the kids AND the dogs. Admittedly, our vittles don't include squirrel and we travel with laptops, not shotguns- but the rest of the look is 100% Clampetts.

I've always loved the idea of the grand road trip in search of national parks, petrified forests and regional food fests. Certainly one of the grandest ideals for that U.S. travel theme is the dream of a sparkly Airstream perfectly outfitted to the traveler's utmost wishes. Glowing stainless on the outside and the promise of the royal best on the inside, travel by Airstream seems to have touched a cord in the overall design community lately.

I could fill volumes with my own daydreams of spectacularly customized Airstreams. One I'm envisioning would be lined with Gracie wallpaper, french doors, down daybed, wifi, hidden speakers and a chef (traveling by sidecar, of course). Bet you've got a few wild Airstream visions of your own...
