AIRSTREAM WANTED




I’ve been doing so much exciting research and planning for my Airstream that it’s sometimes hard for me to remember (ahem) that I don’t have one yet. The first thing I do every morning – even before coffee!! -  is to check all the Craigslist posts from San Diego to Seattle, then I check eBay, then I grab a cup of coffee and cruise around the internet to see what others have done to renovate their personal Airstream pride and joy.

I love getting ideas from the creativity of others, don’t you? But I have to admit, right now the biggest issue I have is the dichotomy of  my intellectual love of serene, slick, simplicity….

Airstream sleek and serene
and my purely gut attraction to the bohemian. I trust simplicity (it doesn’t take much emotional energy, does it?)…bohemian, on the other hand, is more quirky, more flashy and more primal - and that speaks to a part of me that rarely gets heard.

Airstream Bohemian Gypsy
One thing I know for sure – my imagination sees my Airstream in the middle of a field a-la-gypsy-caravan….and that shouldn’t be denied much longer.

Decor, after all, is just stuff and stuff can always come and go. An adventurous, passionate attitude, on the other hand is far more intoxicating….who knows, maybe I’ll find a way to marry my two opposite sides into one quirky-yet-simple gypsy Zan who follows the call of her own Wild.
