Before pictures

Here are a series of images from when we bought the Airstream. Apart from the carpet/floor being torn out, there hadn’t been any work done on the trailer since it was manufactured. It was in good shape, no mold or rot, so we figured that the bones of it were good ones and could see beyond the cosmetic changed needed to know this 1974 Overlander was “the one”

As soon as we got her home, and installed in the back garden, we proceeded to gut her. Those 70′s airstreams had a thin metal covered with fake wood grain… which tho retro in look, wasn’t really our style.

However, we loved the overhead compartments, kitchen as those elements had more style in their retro-ness! We initially gutted most of it, as we felt the layout wasn’t really suitable to what we were looking for in the end. Apart from an immediate need for deb to have a reiki studio, we had no idea what we wanted but figured empty space would suit us better than cluttered space!

We gutted that whole back section so deb could put her massage table, and do her reiki. It worked really well for the time she did that. People loved the calming nature of the space, that it was separate from the house. They all loved the whole experience of having a reiki session in an airstream cocoon.
