Silver Suitcase® #4 Design Update: The 1955 Roadcraft Formerly Known As 1960 Park Model

Things are coming along nicely on the Country Cottage in Joshua Tree:

Remember the kitchen? 

Pretty Dreary - almost Breaking Bad-ish.

I put in some counter tops, a stove/oven, replaced some drawers, painted the wall a warm golden yellow, and switched out the sink fixtures. 

I kept the cabinets as I wanted that rustic not too done feel. 

I wanted to retain some of the "historical" design of the trailer. 

My goal with this trailer was to give it a more woodsy cabin feel.

I do love the softer light here.

I'd be a happy guest, wouldn't you?

At times it was tricky to keep the colors on the warmer side, but I had to keep with the warm country cottage via vintage trailer via Joshua Tree theme in mind at all times.

Don't forget this trailer will serve as a dual purpose: One as a getaway, and it will also be used as The Paul Kaplan Group Joshua Tree Outpost office. 

There's still some tinkering to be done here and there, but most of the 1955 Roadcraft Country Cottage is pretty much done!

Had to Start Somewhere

Talking to my Mother, she reminded me of one particular road trip out of the many that our family took every summer.

I remember this trip well - me and my childhood BFF on a road trip from Ohio to San Diego.

I personally love the SIX PACK of RC Cola in the background. (Thinking about two young boys sugared out on a road trip? That's just setting yourself up-wowza.)

So Mom, Happy Mother's Day, and thanks for all the road trips - particularly this one where I saw and fell in love with my first Airstream that was parked one spot over from us.

It was love at first site.

For the rest of the trip all I could think about was:  When I grow up, I'm going to get my own Airstream...
