Vintage Caravan Love :: PART 1

As Modernism Week in Palm Springs came to a close, we took a day to tour restored, vintage caravans and were so inspired. It's amazing how truly unique each one was. We could really see the individual personalities of the people who put so much time and love into their restorations.
For the lighter traveler, the 1946 Curtis Wright was the oldest on the tour. I love that all wood interior!
This 1959 Airstream Globetrotter, lovingly named the "Welshly," was almost completely intact when this sweet family discovered it. All appliances were in working condition and the flooring, drapes and upholstery were the only items replaced. The story goes, they purchased it via Ebay one night while enjoying martinis. 

Fun fact: Each year Airstream made little adjustments to their new trailers which is why you never really see two alike. Super cute, right?
What? Bunk beds? Awesome. A fully restored 1960s Airstream Caravel with a more Scandinavian, minimalist design. This baby took five years to restore and toats around a family of four, the youngest sleeping in the top bunk. Totally jealous!
Isn't Ben the cutest? This 1959 Airstream Traveler was just a shell when it was reclaimed and restored. Look at how spacious it is!
And our very favorite! We so wanted to steal this one away and take it home with us. This 1964 Traveleze is the cutest with it's sea foam green stove and sweet wood paneling. We've already started looking for one of our own.

Hope you enjoyed our little taste of vintage travelers. Aren't you totally inspired to take one of these guys out for the weekend? There's more to come! PART 2 is just around the corner.

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
