It's a Tie!

Last Saturday, I updated you on our Airstream progress and ran a poll to get your opinion on which design concept was your favorite.

It looks like it is a TIE between:

So, now onto the tie breaker.

Leave me a comment voting for classic or retro.
I will tally them and tell you tomorrow AM.

My husband and I trying really hard to decide whether we should
*restore the Airstream (make as close to original as possible) or
*renovate it (modernize,change what we want have fun with it, make it ours).

I would love to hear your opinions on whether you feel we should restore or renovate.

Airstream Update and Mood Board poll

I hope you are having a great weekend so far. I am working on my fabric for the dining room this weekend. I hope I will have the opportunity to share it with you this coming week.

Today, I wanted to share a progress report on the Airstream with you. Yes, we are still working on it... If you're a new follower, you can catch up here, here and here. I haven't posted progress pictures for a looong time, so here is an update.

We have all of the furniture and peel and stick tiles out. Alfred has slowly been working his magic on removing the rotten sub-floor in the bathroom area.

Unfortunately, we are at a hold still. Apparently, the plywood they make today contains a chemical that will erode aluminum....this is very BAD for an Airstream. We have to find a special type of plywood that does not contain the chemical before we can repair the sub-flooring. That is what we are in the process of doing now. We think we have located it in Lubbock, but may have to drive to Albuquerque to pick it up.

We are slowly making progress, but I don't think it is will to be ready to take camping this summer :(. Our original goal was to have the renovation completed by July, but we have found a lot more to fix than we originally planned.

This is where we are on the interior...

I just completed a new design concept for the renovation...what do you think? A little masculine, and rustic, but I think it could be BEAUTIFUL.
