Sneak Peek at the 1966 Baby Safari Renovation

The Baby Safari is coming along nicely if I do say so myself! 


The carpeting is in! 

The cabinetry + woodwork have been installed 
Beautiful craftsmanship. 
Soooooooo, what do you think of the yellow? 
Daring, I know! This is going to be great!

Silver Suitcase™ # 2 Update: 1966 Safari

Today we are painting the Baby Safari!!!
Everything has been cleared out and now it's a blank canvas waiting for life to be injected back into its hollowed walls.

The magic is starting, people!

Renovation: It's All In the Attitude.



As I wrote the other day,  I purchased a 1949 Spartan Mansion (Silver Suitcase™ #3!)   Here's a sneak peak of a "before" picture. Note: my cavalier attitude.

Think I have some work to do?

Over the next few months I'll have updates on both the Spartan and the 1966 Safari Airstream. (before pictures here)  Stay tuned!

Not too shabby! 


Here's an ad from 1957:
