For those of you who have requested more interior shots, here's a thorough tour of the inside of our Airstream!
Our office. Doubles as the dinner table and occasional lounge seating. (Oops, forgot to take that lounge seating shot!)
Above the dinette on one side is where Kevin keeps the "entertainment center"…the Mac mini, the modem, the cell booster, etc. We grabbed a little bamboo shelf from Storables to use to make a higher shelf and we keep cords and miscellaneous electronic "stuff" underneath the shelf.

The sofa and hallway back to bedroom
Front door and new Pixie espresso maker.
Kitchen
Kitchen (not sure yet how I feel about that cutting board there…I think we need something cooler)
Kitchen with spice rack and cute orange kitchen timer.
We now keep our vintage dishes in this slide-out, locking, lip-slide-protecting pull-out (after The Incident with the first set of carefully collected vintage dishes).
I've got a little rectangular basket I use for produce in the bottom shelf…
There's a pull-out with a microwave in the middle cupboard.
And here's what's in the cupboard up top. It's where our first set of carefully collected vintage dishes used to live before The Incident.
In the cupboard above the stove/sink with the sliding doors, we keep pots and pans and bowls on the left, and dry goods (cereal, bread, etc.) on the right. We just upgraded our cookware and bowls to more streamlined versions that nest perfectly and take up much less room than our mismatched ones all did.
This set of nesting cookware by Magma is fabulous so far!
These nesting bowls by Oxo have a non-slip coating that makes them perfect for travel. (They also come in white.)
This is a taller version of the same bamboo shelf from Storables (I think they have three different heights) that we use in the upper kitchen cupboard.
The hallway to the bedroom. Closet then shower on the left, bathroom on the right.
We stuck one of these plastic drawer systems on the right side of the closet, and keep the left for hanging things. Lightweight and works great.
Bathroom. Fairly minimal.
Pictures I've taken of some other travels in little "Polaroid" frames on the bathroom wall.
Bedroom. (Yes, we have XBox in the trailer. So what. Shut up.) :) Oh and those candles are these great LED candles we got at Target that I swear are so awesome. They flicker, and give the whole place such a nice ambience. We have one on the dinette table too, and we love it. They have a 4-hour timer, even, so you don't burn the place down if you fall asleep. And when I reach over them to pour more wine or something when we're having dinner, I totally keep my arm up high so I don't burn myself. They are THAT realistic!
Cute IKEA mirror ($19.95), bathroom door on the left.
Shower on the right, then closet, from the bedroom.
Did I miss anything? I've got more organizing ideas for the other drawers and cupboards so when I'm done with that, I'll get inside there too.

I LOVE these pictures!!! Thanks so much for sharing. You have got GREAT taste 🙂 I need so many more things now for our Airstream – like that Espresso maker and some fun pillows 😉 You’re the best.
Hi, I saw one of your posts on the airforums. My husband and I have the same model as you (and similar tastes it looks like — down to the kitchen timer— Anthropologie, right?). We’re getting ready to start full timing in about a month and a half and had our first shakedown trip in our used 2008 last week.
I have a question for you: Where did you get the “Home Sweet Home” plate on your door? Our plate is seriously messed up, and I love the idea of ordering an alternate to the standard one!
(And, yeah, we’ll have our XBOX in there too…)
Hi Kerri,
Thanks for your comment! Yep, timer from Anthropologie. 🙂 The decorating part is so much fun, isn’t it? If you have pics of your interior I’d love to see ’em.
Our doorguard came from here: http://vintagetrailering.com/accessories/doorguards%20and%20stuff.htm. We had it on our first Airstream (a 2005 22′ Int’l CCD) and just moved it over when we bought the 2010 27’FB Int’l. I love it!
Keep in touch!
Thanks for the info! We were just talking over the weekend about how we needed to replace that.
I’m in the process of designing our blog, and I’ll let you know when it’s up! Not many pics yet, and we still have a lot to add (much of the stuff will be migrating from the stickhouse to the AS, and we’re still using it in the house). Here are a few, though: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2890872/1/Land_Ship?h=e58331. We have many of those same hooks from IKEA that you got, too, that are just waiting to find their own place once we use the trailer more and figure out where they belong.
Very nice!! I see you have the other key holder we were looking at, too! Those Ikea hooks are great. Having a place right outside the shower to hang clothes and towels while showering is super convenient, and I love that they fold up and blend in with the overall look of the trailer when they aren’t being used.
Definitely let me know when your blog is up…I’ll be looking forward to hearing how the full timing is for you guys.
Having been fortunate enough to stumble upon Laura and family before leaving camp I can say that their Home Sweet Home is even more spectacular in person. She does have great taste and I only wish that we had been at camp the same time they were to smell some of her cooking!
Awesome tour of your Airstream. Thanks for sharing the pics and links.
love your atomic dishes.. and SO jealous of your home sweet home screen door.. we had one home-on-wheels guest on our blog that had this screen but they had a vintage airstream so i just assumed it was only on certain vintage models.. tiffani from weaselmouth sent me the link to your blog, look forward to catching up a bit (; tiffany
Hi Tiffany! I don’t recall if I linked to the screen or not, but they’re here if I didn’t: http://www.vintagetrailering.com/accessories/doorguards%20and%20stuff.htm
